[QUOTE="aroy, post: 366151, member: 16090"] Before you order more memory, install the 64 bit Win7, that may solve your immediate problem. When you install more RAM, check whether your motherboard will benefit with symmetric RAM configurations, that is sets of two (or four in case of server boards). Some MB support faster read/write using 2 or 4 ports. My Xeon MD supports both 2 and 4, so I use sets of 4 DIMMS - I have 16 RAM slots to play with. Another suggestion is to keep all RAM same speed and same size DIMMS, that helps RAM throughput. Any asymmetry slows the data transfer. [/QUOTE]
