I had vista ultimate, but it was only the 32-bit version, :/

I'm running XP Corporate - so far as I can tell it's identical to XP Professional except it doesn't need an activation key ^^ Lucky me.

*edit* so is XP 64 bit worth a re-format? I have 4 giggerwotzits of wramb.

If you have 4 giggerwotzits of wramb, then yeah, XP 64 is worth it. With 32-bit, the ram usage tops off at 3.5 gigs in Vista I think, but I might be mistaken. I think you also need a 64 bit processor as well. Most dual core processors are 64 bit these days.
Im pretty sure ram usage tops off at 2 gigs in XP 32-bit. Theres a way to get it to use more than 2 gigs (3.5 - 4?), but it involves reconfiguring some kind of system file and editing some code I believe.

newegg.com has XP-64 decently priced.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64Bit SP2C - $139.99

So what you're saying is, even though XP reports 3.5GB, I'm only using 2GB? ohmy.gif
