I heard you can't even use more than 2 gig unless you're 64bit

I heard that too, UC.

[fldash]

No, you can use 4 GB, but it's total, including Video memory.  So I only use 3.2 GB of my RAM because my video card is 640MB...

[Ucross]

How sure are you about that fl?  like your current specs show it?

Yeah, nm, I just confirmed it.  Looks like 3 gigs is the most I should get.  It's not just the video card, it's other parts of your computer too.

The limit for 32-bit x86 based operating systems (i.e. Windows XP) is 4 gb of addressed RAM.  However, since the OS needs RAM to function, the most you can ever use for any individual program is 3 gb (that includes virtual memory).  64-bit dramatically expands the amount of addressable RAM, but I think Vista limits it to 8 or 16 gb (can't remember which).

What you gonna do with all that storage space Raid2Win?

[Unkn0wn]

Does this mean you'll play more?

Nice setup, If your already spent the money on the Aquagate then dump the thermaltake CPU cooler and hook up the Aqua gate. OC that CPU!!!

[Ucross]

Slight changes.  I switched to the 22inch dell monitor as 24 I think is just too big.   Also I went with the 8800 Ultra and a seperate aqua gate cooling system.

I wanted the 2 liquid cooling systems b/c now the loadest thing in my comp will be the PSU and it's not that load a PSU.

Umm my screen (19# TFT / Flatscreen) a Nevo F-419 is haveing "cords" or well the pixel are messed up where coulors chance like in pictures where thersé are l´ares with much light and darkness. I read around in the net and all i found out it might be because of magnetic Fields...

Anyone has a idear?

Dear god that thing is a beast, though I would've waited for the next line of DX10 cards from Nvidia, the 8800 is a piece of crap.

[Thtb]

I have a 8800 GT from nvidia :I

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

having 2 8800's is like wow, how much did that thing cost?
