Default 64 Sucks

Stick with 32,atleast you have drivers that work half the time.

I think the 128gb mentioned earlier is meant to mean hdd size even so if that is the case its wrong anyway.
i run vista 64 because i have 4gb of ram but i must say i have had no problems finding the drivers i need, it runs really smooth.

That is wrong, Windows XP SP2 can handle way more then 128GB, as I had my 1TB RAID setup with it. A 64-Bit OS can handle up to 128GB of RAM, not a 128GB hard drive.

so, i think in 10 years, 16 gigs of ram will be normal...if not low.

what do you guys think?

*i wanna start a thread called "time capsule" now...*
16 gigs will be the norm in only a year or two. Once the software companies are forced to supply for 64bit things will advance very quickly IMO. I mean 4 gig of DDR2 is so cheap these days.

I don't know what world you live in, but 16 gigs will not be the norm in a few years. Hell, I just bought a brand new dual xeon server, and it only has 4 gigs of RAM in it, and it does way more than anyone's personal computer does on this forum.

Unused RAM is pointless. The performance increase you will get from 4gigs to 16gigs will be nil, because you won't ever use up that much RAM. As for 64 bit Vs 32 bit, I would say stick with 32 bit because its not going anywhere and MS can't design an OS to save their life. If they had done Vista correctly, it would have both 32 and 64 bit libraries available in the OS, just like how everyone else does it. It is a marketing scheme.

You should! I'd contribute! I was born in 91 and got my first sights of a computer at the age of three. (An old laptop, possibly an old thinkpad?) Got the first family computer at 4, and a gateway 2000 when I turned 5. ($2500 for a tower, speakers, monitor). Boy have times changed.

How much did that set yopu back?

Even if the performance increase was very small, with the rate that new technology has improved I believe that it could be very possible to have 16gig RAM as the norm due to new technology gains in other areas. However with the introduction of DDR3 this could slow down the need for more ram due to a smaller amount doing a better job. Anyway thats the way I see it.
