Hello,
i like testing software. some software isnt compatible with vista so i want to use a virtual machine to run windows 2000 pro Sp4.
it works ok but i have to close opera since vista is using superfletch to make best use of the memory which means there isnt enough for virtualbox.
from crucial i can get 2gb of ram for £35 or 4GB for £65 or £131 for 8GB
if you know of any better places for ddr2 for my asus P5k-wifi please tell me (aka cheaper but still good quality)
now atm i have windows vista 32bit so max limit is ofcourse 4gb
i currently have two 1GB sticks of ram. i have 4 slots.
what ever option i choose will fill up all the ram slots. so whenever i upgrade the ram again i will have to take out all the ram ive got atm.
so if say i paid £65 and brought 4gb of ram two 2gb sticks and for now only benefited from 4gb max of it would this cause any issues? like blue screen of my motherboard is P5k-wifi
when i get some more cash i will probaly get vista 64Bit oem
just want the best option for future proofing. without having to later on remove all the memory and stick in 4 new sticks to get max.
thanks in advance
lodore
