RAM and my 32-bit system

Hi, I just brought Thinkpad X100e, it came with 3 GB of ram and a 32-bit operating system I was hoping to upgrade to 4 GB, but I read that it is not worth doing unless it's 64-bit. Is this the case? And if so is it expansive upgrade to 64-bit?

Thank you

Mike

If you do not use all your 3 concerts upward, then you need not 4 gigabytes of ram. More does not always faster.

  • Satellite A350 - Question about RAM and Vista 32 bit - 64 bit

    I bought a Satellite A350 Tiger Direct. He moved with Windows Vista 32 bit.
    It is capable in my view up to 8 GB of Ram. Vista 32 bit does support 3.

    All reviews on this laptop online say that it came with 64-bit and 400 GB of memory.
    Mine came with only 230 GB of memory and 32 bit vista. I ran Belarc advisor, and he tells me that my computer is 64-bit ready.

    Is this true? Why is - this me came not with Vista 64 bit?
    I want to upgrade my ram but with 32 bits, which is not possible and according to Microsoft you cannot update 32-bit to 64-bit.
    So should I buy Vista 64-bit upgrade? (for around 300 euros!). Is this in any way about this?

    What are my options? I want 4 GB of Ram or more really bad...

    What Satellite A350 do you have exactly?

    AFAIK the most recent series of Toshiba laptop pre-installed a dual operating system;
    In this case, you can choose between Vista 32-bit or 64-bit.

    To obtain the 64-bit, you will need to restart the laptop and have to press F8.
    Here you must choose the option to fix my computer. Then select Toshiba HDD recovery and finally, you should see the option which would be you can toggle between the 32 and 64 bit.

    Usually the Vista 32 bit supports 3.2 GB RAM.
    Only the 64-bit Vista will be able to recognize 4 GB and more.

    I have a new desktop computer HP with Vista Home Premium 64 - bit, with 8 GB of RAM, and when I try to run Zoo Tycoon 2, I get the following error message:

    You need at least 256 MB of system memory to run Zoo Tycoon 2. (0Mo detected)

    Y at - it a patch? I have read many "Workaround" and none of them work. I tried to run in Windows XP compatibility mode and it didn't work.

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
     
    In addition, change the size of virtual memory and see that helps. For more information, see:

  • I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

    http://pietschsoft.com/post/2006/12/Vista-experience-update-Windows-Vista-x64-runs-32-bit-Internet-Explorer-by-default.aspx

    The Internet Explorer shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar, and in the x 64 Vista Start menu will run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer by default. Why run the 32-bit version if IE on the 64-bit version of Vista?

    There are actually two shortcuts for Internet Explorer in the "Programs" menu Why two and what is the difference?

    This is the title of each and they run exe:

    Internet Explorer
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.

    One runs IE in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder, this is the 32-bit version. The second is the 64-bit version.

    How can I make the Quick Launch shortcut to run the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?

    1. Right click on the shortcut
    2. Click 'properties '.
    3. On the shortcut tab, replace the contents of the text box 'Target' with the target of the shortcut in the menu 'Programs' 'Internet Explorer (64-bit)'.
    4. Happy surfing using IE 64 bit

    There are traps to running the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?

    In fact I know there. At the time where as I write this there are no 64-bit version of Flash Player. So, if you need to view a Web site that uses Flash, then you will need to use the 32 - bit IE version. at least for now. I'm sure that Adobe is going to release a 64 bit version of Flash Player at the end of January when Vista shipped to consumers. But then again, maybe not since Vista x 64 works 32-bit IE by default.

    If you have any other IE questions:
