Goat Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I just purchased windows 7 to receive full potential of my 7 gigs of ram. I currently have windows xp 32 bit installed and i'm only able to use 4 gigs out of the 7 total I have installed. When I attempt to install the 64 bit version of windows 7, It says that my system is unable to. Could someone please help me out. I'd really like to get the most out of my ram and I'd hate to think that I wasted money on components. -Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenixNR Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just an FYI, windows 32bit won't even use 4 gigs, and you don't even need 7 gigs. I don't know what programs you run to need the full 7 gigs, but it's obviously way more than I run on 4 gigs. Which is usually photoshop, steam, word, and a few other programs all open at once.
