Hi Guys
I thought it would be worth sharing this interesting little fact with you all , Vista 32bit will not allow you to address 4 Gig of RAM unless you ether carry out a reg Hack & or your Mobo supports a funky type of address allocation ( this feature is only found on servers & even then not all of them support this out of band memory allocation).
I was fortunate enough to have the ability to move form 32bit to the 64bit version of Vista & so have seen an uplift of 1.2 Gig through moving to to this OS & to be honest the signed driver issue does not impact me personally so its happy days I think ( must check out my Cyborg Joystick ) ...
Be ware chaps all the best Spit
