Upgrade Vista 32 and 64 for the recognition of additional memory and game performance

I have a question for the computer.  I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9040n who has Windows Vista 32 - bit SP2 with 3 GB of memory.  From what I've been able to determine, the 32-bit version doesn't recognize up to 3.5 GB of memory and I need to install the 64 bit version of Windows Vista for additional memory can be installed AND recognized.  This system comes with the Core 2 Quad Q6600 (K) 2.4 GHz, at 1 066 MHz front side BUS and Socket 775.

My question - would be upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit and install another 4 GB for a total of 7 GB of extra memory for increased game performance.  Also, I have a graphics program which because of some image sizes (up to 96 inches - 19200 pixel everywhere) program that the bombs on me with "out of memory" messages.  I play World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2 right now.

Thank you.

In your case a newer graphics card improve performance much more compared to buying new RAM. You can then add more RAM. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

    Hello

    I have Windows Vista SP2 on my machine. can I he move to Windows 7 using Windows 7 Ultimate draft?

    A preliminary version is not a permanent solution and to this date can not activate or update properly.  You have two choices:

    (1) get you a Windows 7 upgrade version.  (2) Windows 7 Trial (see the last part of my post).

    With a choice, it is always a good idea to create a backup Image of your hard drive before moving from Vista to Windows 7.

  • Can I use a key to upgrade Windows 7 32 - bit for the upgrade to Vista 64 - bit, 7 64-bit, with a 64-bit upgrade disc?

    It's a bit complicated, but I appreciate all help.

    I have the following:
    1. access to a genuine copy of Windows Vista 64-bit (regardless of the version I want) through IEEE Computer Society.
    2. a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade disc purchased through a program of student software in 2010. Shortly after using the disk and the key, the laptop I was using died due to hardware problems.
    3. a drive to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit bought via the same pattern of student software, including an unused key.
    Student software system only allows users to buy a copy of each version, so I can't buy it simply another copy of the 64-bit version.
    I wonder if it is possible to use the key of the 32-bit version with the version 64-bit upgrade disk to upgrade a 64 bit Windows Vista installation to Windows 7? If this is not the case, unfortunately, I'll be stuck with Vista.

    Several years ago I got when I was with Windows XP I spoke to Microsoft and said I could use the 64-bit and 32-bit disk on different computers, by using the same product key, but there are certain requirements.  I think the 2 computers were to be in the same place and I was the owner.  I'm a little hazy on the rules, but I know that I learned that I could use both versions 32 and 64 different bits with the same key.  I have a desktop running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional and a laptop running Vista.  Both are registered for me, but the laptop was a gift from our son for the wife who is disabled and never leaves the House except for visits to the doctor.  It comes preinstalled with Vista, but there were so many problems with Vista, Microsoft offers an automatic upgrade to Windows 7 at the time.  I never took advantage of this because Best Buy, where the laptop was purchased, wanted to get paid to do the upgrade.  My wife is now having a lot of trouble with various programs with Vista, I have two disc of Windows 7 Professional, I received directly from Microsoft, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  There is only 1 button, but I learned the upgrade to Windows 7 was supposed to be free.  I have much more knowledge now and can install the update myself, but can I use the 32 bit disc and the very key to do.  Otherwise, I would use the 32-bit disk and get a new key?  Where can I get a new key for the Vista upgrade to Windows 7 for free as it was offered once?

  • Measures to upgrade Vista HW RAID1 system for 7?

    Current system is Vista x 64 with two RAID1 arrays (including the system drive / boot), the RAID Motherboard (Intel chipset) controller.

    What are the steps required to upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate x 64 (with RAID 1 migrated tables) on-site?

    Is that need an upgrade in place as possible, given this new RAID driver for Win 7?

    Thanks, guys, I appreciate the help.

    Although there aren't still some of the characteristics of an independent RAID Intel Chipset RAID is a solution hardware, software is required for the management and within Windows error report. Just be aware that newer chipsets do not actually have built-in RAID. What chipset is your? I run an x 58 chipset that requires no driver to install.

    For Intel RAID function is completely transparent to the windows and the iastor driver is built into Windows 7, the mirror will appear as its drive. Windows 7 has the same functionality of type F6 as XP, because it will provide the o/s controller card drivers but does not depend on a floppy and works via the USB port if necessary.

  • El Capitan Upgrade - not enough of space for the upgrade to Photos

    HI guys.  I just upgraded my MB of 2013 at El Capitan Air, and I'm having an issue update to iPhoto to Photos.  We have the iPhoto on an external hard drive library.  When I try to update library it tells me that there is not enough space.  Of course, the obvious answer, and one that I've read here, is to get a bigger external drive.  But before I spend the $$ to do this, I want to make sure that you understand how the upgrade.  The hard drive on my Mac itself is fairly complete, so if he tries to use somehow * that * as space time to do the upgrade, it won't work even with the biggest external drive.  However, if she only cares about the space on the disk where the iPhoto library sits, a new external drive is the fix.

    Anyone know how it works?  Someone got experience with success the upgrade for the Photos on an external drive when you are main internal drive is full?

  • Stop Vista event ID 6008 for the Sims 2

    I got Vista 64 Home Premium since 10/2009 and no problems until June 29, 2010.  I've been running the Sims 2 since 10/2009, but from June 29, when playing the game, the computer will randomly turned off completely.  No BSOD, no warning.  I've updated my video card drivers, but that did not improve the situation.  I checked the event viewer and get the event ID 6008, "shutdown system before at (time) on (date) was not planned."  No other error messages, no BSOD.

    The computer feels hot to the touch, it's a gateway LX6810-01 running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit with Service Pack 2.  I ran the Sims 2 hours at a time before (for the last few months, usually 2-4 hours a day, much more the weekend) with no problems, but now sometimes the computer stops while the game is load again, sometimes I can get some time in French - the longest so far is 3 hours.  I can't think of what's happening in the game that could cause this, especially in the loading or menu screens.

    ETA: I have not changed/downloaded/installed anything for the Sims 2 between the moment where he would not plant and the time that he began to be crush/cause the computer to stop.

    Hello

    6008 error means that you have had an unexpected shutdown.

  • Additional fee for the Satellite C660-116 memory

    Hello

    I would like to add to my Satellite C660-116, which has a memory 800 Mhz 1 GB installed DDR3 2 GB of additional memory. (Samsung M471B2873FHS-CH9, 204 pins SODIMM)

    After consulting with several Internet sites it can a confusion now:

    Samsung 1 GB DDR3 10666 1333 MHz laptop memory
    Samsung 1 GB DDR3 10600 1333 MHz laptop memory

    While the official website of Toshiba says 800 Mhz.

    It was easire to find a DDR2 800 Mhz for a DDR3 at 800 Mhz, however, to get a DDR3 at 1333 MHz 2 GB is very simple and reasonable in cost.

    Someone could say 2 GB memory which would be the best to buy (a 204-pin SoDIMM DDR2 800 Mhz) or a DDR3 1333 Mhz or something else?
    Thank you

    Toshiba recommends the use of the module of RAM 2 GB compatible with PA3676U-1M2G part number.
    This memory has been tested and works perfectly.

    If you want to have high quality I recommend you use Kingston RAM compatible RAM for your Satellite is KTT1066D3 / 2G.

    Check the two modules and compare the price. Always is it that both of them are high quality products, and you will have no problems using one of them.

    By the way: your laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB so I think you must be upgraded to the maximum level.
