Vista Home Premium SP1
Pentium Dual Core 2.0gHz
400gByte Hard drive
3Gig RAM
Question:
According to the store I bought it from, I have a 32bit version of
Vista which will read up to 3.5gibabytes of RAM if I install two 2Gig
sticks. In order to read all 4Gig(or 3.9), they told me I'd have to
install a 64bit version of Vista.
Is this information correct?
The machine is more than fast enough for my needs now, even with
chubby Norton AV 2007 running in the background, etc, but should I
throw in a second 2Gig stick just to get the few extra horsepower from
the 0.4Gig it would read?

Hi, Chris --
Don't uninstall Norton; I'm running it too, and it's not a problem. I have an HP with 4 GB installed (my Athlon dual core can handle 64 but is only running at 32 at this time) so I'm not getting much more oomph than you are. But do use a 4 gig USB thumb drive for ReadyBoost; I do photo editing and such and it does seem to ease things. I don't know what your Windows Experience Index is, but mine shows Processor 5.3, Memory 5.9, Desktop Graphics 3.1, Gaming 3 (I don't do any), and Primary HD 5.6.
I also added a 500 GB Firewire drive for data backup.
