    Question Windows 7 HP 16GB limit / Disk

    Hiya there

    I have recently ordered a 3XS system to replace my ageing (but still working) 7 years old 3XS system.

    I have a few questions, more to satisfy my own curiosity than anything.

    1) The Windows 7 HPr 16GB ram limit, I have ordered my computer with 16 GB ram, and my graphics card is 2GB ram.. does that mean that the system will only use approx 14GB of the ram, or will it use all of the 16GB and be able to address the graphic cards additional 2GB as well ?

    2) Also I see there is a trend towards supplying new computers with 'restore options' usually a restore partition or the like, will I get an actual windows disk (the first thing I usually do is wipe what's on and install from scratch) ?

    Many thanks as I look forward to receiving my new puter

    Hi Zoo,

    Glad to hear the old system is still going strong.

    Fortunately Windows 7 will be able to use all 16GB system memory and the 2GB dedicated memory on the graphics processor.

    We will indeed ship your copy of Windows if you selected this as your operating system for you to install as you wish, drivers and software for your spec will also be provided for this.

    Regards, Josh

    Again, should probably think of starting your own thread to ask these questions....
