With a brand new system I decided to enter the Vista club. The trouble was, I did not know which Vista I wanted to get. Budget was not a problem, I had set enough aside for Vista Ultimate. That after all is what I really wanted to test. Though I will admit, Home Premium would have sufficed. My system shipped with 2GB of RAM, I wanted 4GB, but the component upgrade was a little more than I would be happy to pay. The system was cheaper than I could possibly build though. For 2GB of RAM 32Bit would be the logical choice, and for 4GB many would think the same. Most do not realize that a 32Bit system will not use all of 4GB of RAM. It can support it but it cannot use it. I had heard warnings and horror stories relating to the 64Bit version, so I was a little apprehensive. I figured that it should be alright, since most of the software that I plan to be using is very modern. The only concern I had was over my printer, which turned out to be unfounded. It all worked. There was one old program that failed to load, but I didn’t lose too much sleep over it.
