I am gonna build a new system soon and I plan on dual booting XP Pro 32 Bit and Vista Ultimate 32 Bit (for now). Eventually I will dual boot XP 32 bit and Vista 64 bit. I am wondering if there is any problems having 4GB of ram in 32 bit Vista or XP. I know that you can only see about 3.2GB or whatever it is in a 32 bit OS, but I want to know if any other issues will arise. Is performance better with 4GB (2x2GB or 4x1GB) in 32 Bit Windows XP/Vista than with 2GB (2x1GB) or is it about the same? Anyone have 4GB and running a 32 Bit OS that could let me know?
If anyone cares this system will be using a P35 board, a Core 2, and a 8800GT.
