    But VRAM is included in the memory addressing for Windows. It's why on 32 bit that having a graphics card with more VRAM will limit your system RAM since the memory address is limited. The same applies to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Even though it's 64 bit, the memory address capability is reduced which would mean that it is effected by the graphics cards.

    Nice read on memory addressing:

    The same concept of a reduced memory address on x86 applies to Home Premium 64 bit.

    That's very lame.

    Why do Microsoft feel they need to limit RAM so harshly on a 64 bit OS anyways?

    Skarsguard,

    When you're on imgur ready to copy a link for an image, choose the large or small thumbnail, then use "Linked BBCode."

    Hope that helps!

    Everything is off my SSD pretty much have windows,antivirus,cpuz,firefox,Wow,D3, and Ccleaner and that's it. Still have 60 gigs free so I'm for sure not doing bad at all btw If I could change anything on my build I would have went with the regular shinobi the XL is a beast 35 pounds by it self other then that I love the case and how "clean" it looks.
