Hey guys i need a quick answer to this so i can finish someone elses project that got dropped into my lap.
a year or so back when i built my rig, 1066 ddr2 memory was expensive and the hottest thing going. At the time i was told "if you are going to run 2gb sticks then you have to run 64bit software" and that 32 bit would cause damage and overheat the ram.
today a friend got into some trouble with his build and brought it here.
its an ASUS M4A785T-M with an Athlon II 620 x4, I found where he made most of his mistakes and corrected that and did a bios update looking for a core or L3 unlock and that went nowhere on this chipset. :shadedshu
My question: he only has 2 sticks of Supertalent ddr3 1333 ram at 2 gig each. My logic says he should still be running 64bit windows and not 32 bit. Does this rule still apply to ddr3 ram?
I need an answer quick guys-- i want this thing outa my house tonight-- youd have to know the induvidual-
