1. Will the processor run in 64 bit automatically or do you have to turn it on somewhere so it will run in 64 bit?
|
It's automatically set to 64-Bit, but you need a 64-Bit OS in order to take advantage of it.

2. How do i tell if my ram is running in dual channel?
|
Either look on the POST screen, or run CPU-z and look under the memory tab.

3. I have DDR2 800 ram but it says its only running at like 399mhz, why is this?
|
It says it's running at 400Mhz because thats the actual speed, but effectively it's 800Mhz (similar to the memory speed on video cards)

4. I have a 320GB sata hard drive and it says its total size is 298GB, i know its not supposed to be the full amount, but should it only be 298GB?
|
It's because Windows addresses 1GB as 1,024MB, while the mfg's specify 1GB at 1,000MB. Some of the space is also taking up by the file system and such.

5. When i go to system properties under the general tab where it says computer:
when it lists the ram it says "0.99GB of RAM Physical Address Extension"
Why does it say 0.99GB of ram when i have 1024mb?
|
0.99GB is pretty much the same exact thing as 1.00GB. What does it say under the performance tab on the task manager?
