Sorry, but my new HP laptop also has 4gigs of RAM in it. I figure I won't be needing anymore for some time to come. (duh! - it's maxxed out!)
The desktop upstairs has 768mg of RAM, plus the new video card I had installed has it's own 256mg of Ram on board.

So, computer nerds - how much RAM is in your machines? :lol:

Mine uses all of it's RAM, it has 64bit Vista, but that is the only thing I see about 64bit Vista that is worth the money. :shrug:

Question though?

Isn't 64 bit software programs the thing of the future?

And, how far away are we from having ALL programs upgrading to 64 bit?

Yes, it is a thing of the future, however it has been out for XP Professional for sometime.

I have not a clue when they will go 64 bit on everything. I will tell you this, I am having a hell of a time finding things that are compatible with 64bit Vista.

I am stuck with Norton antivirus because it is the only program other than McAfee that will run with it. Since it came with the computer I am using it.

I have several people of programs I already own telling me they are working on a solution for their programs to run with 64 bit Vista and they will have it fixed soon. I, however, am not holding my breath!

I use the free edition of AVG Anti-Virus on my PC Desktop; so far no major problems.

BUT, it updates very slowly, AND, there's no tech support available for that free edition! You have to upgrade to the $$$ version to get any help from them.

Not cool.

If you choose to use Windows, then choose not to use internet explorer. I have Windows PCs that I have set up for the most novice of computer users. It runs Free AVG, Commodo (also free), and Firefox. Years of trouble free use, and they have children.

I stopped by Staples again, today, and asked about a Vista software upgrade to the 64bit version, and there isn't one yet. If you want to get it, you have to purchase the Vista Ultimate package, priced at $320.00.

Not today! :lmao:
