I've noticed that since I installed Vista Home Premium, the RAM is now 3 gigs. It used to be 4 gigs. Where's the missing gigabyte?
Install those too.Thanks. I noticed that it's still in HWiNFO32, so at least it's not fried/loose/stolen.
I *tried* to run all the Updates through yesterday but when I rebooted more came up.
That's what you get if you buy a 32 bit version of Vista instead of 64 bit.
Stick with winXP or get a 64 bit OS
And there is no reason to go with XP unless you have applications/hardware that absolutely wont work with Vista
Im using 32-bit as I have a few 16-bit games I don't want to give up. Also about 50% of the programs I regularly use don't have x64 versions.
Plus I can't afford a 64-bit OS. I was lucky as-is to find the Vista CD at a yard sale for $20. I'm on a very strict budget most of the time. If my mom would give up her two-pack-a-day cigarette habit (cigarettes are around $10 here) maybe we'd have some money.

My PC has 4 gig of RAM and I have Vista 32 bit. Windows used to report I had 3 gig (plus som few hundred megs more. can't remember the exact number) but it now (correctly) say I have 4 gig. Has there been some update or something?
On the contrary, there's absolutely no reason to run 32 bit Vista instead of winXP. A bigger vista memory footprint when you're still stuck with 3 GB RAM and 2 GB VAS limits is the most stupid choice for an OS you can make.
Go 64 bit or don't migrate at all.

Not if they're Wiindows apps.
Vista 32-bit is faster than XP.
