I guess you all have that word in the URL on your blacklist.

It said:

x86:

* 1GHz or faster processor
* 1 GB of RAM
* 16 GB of available disk space
* DirectX 9 graphics device with Windows Display Driver Model 1.0 or higher driver

x64:

* 1GHz or faster processor
* 2 GB of RAM
* 20 GB of available disk space
* DirectX 9 graphics device with Windows Display Driver Model 1.0 or higher driver

I think you misread the question, Scaramonga.

Asirixx, the link I provided plus the info in the thread pretty much answers your question.

I am marking this solved.

Yes, you can install x64 on that system. I would go into the BIOS and enable "hardware memory hole" and "software memory hole". This will allow you to run more than 2gb of RAM (Win7 should be able to see and adress over 100gb of RAM.

Incorrect again. Windows 7 ***64bit*** can address up to 16 TB of RAM. Windows 7 ***32bit* can still only address 4 GB of RAM.

And enabling memory holes for what reason? The OS either can or cannot address the RAM - holes notwithstanding....

computerboom: Windows 7 - Maximum Supported RAM is 192 GB

192

Theoretically the limit of a 64bit OS is 16 TB

 

[othman11]

Windos Xp Pro x64, Vista x64 (all versions), and Win7 x64 (all versions) can see and adress up to 128gb of RAM. the limiting fact is still the memory controller bottleneck on motherboards.

Whereas Windows 7 has raised the bar to 192 Gb.
