Hello,

In order for Windows to use the full amount of RAM you will need to have a 64-bit version

of Windows.

 

[jenae]

Hi, put simply "you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" 32 bit OS will be able to use a Max of 4gb the OS itself will keep (depending on whats installed and hardware) up to 1gb of this , so typically you will have 3.2 - 3.5 of Ram. Now this is adequate for most users If you wish to utilize more ram, then 64 bit OS is available, however you will not find any performance difference between 64 bit and 32 bit unless your setup requires it AND is set to use it.

 

[deleted122510]

Yeah, the above posters are correct. But, I'll explain it a little bit better :

If you're OS is 32-bit (or x86-bit, same thing) you're limited to only 3.2GBs of ram, and if you're OS is a 64-bit you're limited to 128GBs, I believe. But, there's hardware issues related and you're processor plays a role in it.

For more information, you could check here :
Difference Between 32 Bit (x86) and 64 Bit (x64)
32-Bit Windows and 4GB of RAM

HTH.

Once again, thanks for PMing me and not directly asking me to solve you problem - and just giving me the link to this thread. Kudos for reading the rules.

Also, kudos on the VERY descriptive thread, you even impressed me and I'm the most picky member on TSF!

Hi Windy, as an old experienced "picker" try to put nothing smaller then your elbow into your nose and your nose into your ear, this way you will never embarrass yourself in public.

 

[deleted122510]

I don't follow, did I say something wrong?

 

[jenae]

Hi, no no, my Father who lived to 101 gave me that advice when I was Ten, I was in trouble at school for (behavior unbecoming) reference the picking :smile:

 

[deleted122510]

Oh, I thought I had insulted you or something - you sounded serious (by the way you typed :laugh

[karlitos]

Hello , thanks for Reply' guys

As i said the problem of changing windows it is

but when i put the cd to boot it ( i wait a bit some noize comes from CD and then all starting normal " yes i changed the bios to boot first from CD''

I Burned 4 DVD's / CD's to make it work
but nothing !

if possible Friends , help me how to reinstall my Windows or fix my problem or tell me what's better to do.

"i have tried to change my Windows /reinstall etc to windows vista ultimate 64bit

If it's "starting normal", then what's wrong? Have you tried to install from your explorer, and NOT trying to boot install?

 

[karlitos]

Thanks for fasty reply
&
Yes i tried to install it from The install of the Files but it doesn't run's to install
because i think ''my system is with x84 / 32bit '' and i cant install or run it from Desktop the 64Bit''


Why it doesnt works?

Step by step what i am doing.


1.putting the DVD
2.Restarting Computer
3.Press Esc for Boot menu
4.choosing CDDVD To first
5.waiting...
6.Some noize from CD its doing like '' boot ITs workin''
but after about ... hmm 15 Seconds ''Computer starts normal and no BOOT ''

I dont know what is the problem i tried everything i think
But maybe i missed something



Thanks for Reading

WOW - I just had a brain freeze; I actually thought you could install a x64-bit OS through the explorer on a x86-bit OS.

Anyways, are you actually setting CD-ROM/DVD-ROM mode or are you just temporarily doing it? - Like, does it actually take you into the BIOS or just display the boot options?

 

[karlitos]

i already setted the CD-ROM/DVD-Rom to boot first when i start the computer
and still nothing..
i am a bit unlucky :|


PS:How i can know what is my OS? or i have OS? from where?
thanks too.:smile:


Thanks
Stephan.

 

[deleted122510]

You mean, you want to know your OS-bit? Here.

 

[deleted122510]

I thought we established it was x86-bit? :laugh:

 

[karlitos]

Sorry i was thinking OS was other thing

ok my OS = x86
sorry

Anything that which gonna help?

i am going to update my SystemInfo to see maybe something will help


Thanks
Stephan
