just got my computer saturday and bumped the ram from 2 gigs to 4 gigs, but won't be able to utilize the full 4 gigs unless I get the 64-bit version :(

The salesman told me to either find a friend that has the 64-bit version or grab one from a crack code website, which I'm not real hip on doing.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

the salesman told me that vista 32 would only recognize about 3-31/2 gigs of it. I found where you can get an update for 32 to 64 for 13 bucks from the Microsoft website, via dvd. I was going to order it but they wanted the vista 32 code which I could not give since I'm at work. I hope to get it done tonight.

The 64 bit program is the same price as the 32, but the store that I bought it from only had the 32 version pc for sale. I could have waited for them to build me another one....but I was going through withdrawls at the time and couldn't wait any longer.

The system I bought had 2 gigs and then I bought another 2 gigs for a total of 4.
