Unless one of those sticks is mounted perm. to the motherboard, there's nothing stopping you from putting it in there. (windows actually seeing it is a whole other ball of wax)

Nop, well not if you have a good video card.

That 4GB limit is shared with video card ram.

So if your like me and are running sli with two cards that use 256 your system can only see 3.5 gigs of mobo ram

Anything in XP is better than anything in Vista.

Vista is the new ME. May it quickly shift from being a reality to just a bad memory.

MS has already announced it will end its standard support for XP next April!

Considering that XP is currently the most popular, and used operating system in the -world-, it says alot about Microsofts current problems when they suddenly, and without warning, they declare they are ending support. They are ending XP licensing next month.

This tells me that VISTA is such a grand failure, but MS has devoted so much money that they have no choice but to scare people into buying it.

I'm sure some like it, but the bottom line is this:
Its slower. It uses more memory. It uses more resources. It does not work with many COMMON applications, or hardware. I don't like IE7, or the mac-style interface.

When my XP machine finally dies, I'm switching fully over to Linux (or similar)
