Memory
Hey all, I have an ASUS G1 laptop running windows 7 build 7600 64bit (just installed it last night) and my problem that I've been pondering is, should I be using 64 bit or 32bit?
My laptop did come with 3gb ram and windows vista home premium 32bit, but I decided to make it 2x2gb rams and changed to 64bit after I got it so I am not too sure about the performance with 32bit of vista and above windows 7. Other than that, I've used xp pro 32bit with this set up and it was fantastic.
I do have 4gb ram and in the resource monitor, it's showing:
Hardware Reserved: 1153mb
In Use: 1115mb
Modified: 48mb
Standby: 1560mb
Free: 220mb
Available: 1782mb
Cached: 1608mb
Total: 2943mb
Installed: 4096mb
I read many topics and people say to remap the memory in the bios, but my bios doesn't have that option. Even after upgrading the bios, I still don't see the option. If it's not going to use all 4gb, would it be better to just stick with 32bit?
Thanks in advance.
