Like a fine wine, installing 4GB of RAM requires an acquired taste. Not everyone likes wine, and not everyone needs 4GB of RAM. However, with Vista and the future looking to change that, many are considering a move on up. Today we are taking a look at a kit that's not only priced right, but has some overclocking headroom as well.
You can read the full article whilst ignoring the lame intro here and discuss it here.

Vista 32 bit is compatible and will use up to 8 GB of memory.

umm no it wont. just because your mother board supports 8 gigs doesnt mean a 32 bit system will use it all. it is mathamaticly impossible for a 32 bit system to addres more than 4 gigs of data
