The 32 bit version can't use all 4 GB

Also 32 bit version of Windows 7 can use full 4 GB RAM (up to 64 GB). See: 32-bit Windows 7 with full 4 GB or 8 GB RAM support

The machine sports a solid 4.2 Mhz OC and GTX 280...so if W7 eaks out a few more FPS, its not going to make much of a difference vs XP.

A whopping 4.2 MHz OC????

WOW!

Well..thats on AIR.
Anything more I start to get some instability.

I suppose could get more out of it if I went with an active cooling system.

Beware the side effects of the Russian patch that needs to be applied.

<Irony on>
Don't trust the Russian !
Don't trust "Kaskersky Antivirus" !
Don't trust "Start 2 agreement" !
<Irony off>

I'm not happy with pressing a function button thats name I cannot understand.

There is a link a to step-by-step instruction. So you can do the patch manually. You only need a HEX editor.

All this just to get an extra 512Mb RAM!

Other users report that they only have access to 3,25 GB or 3 GB of RAM. So they get access to extra 750 MB or even 1 GB RAM. What would you say if you have bought an 1 TB hard disk and have only access to 750 GB ?
