If I were to addd 2 more Gigs of Ram to my 32bit Vista Ultimate, I know I would not be able to see all 4Gb and most likely only about 3.5. The question I have is this.

If I decided to add the 2 more Gigs, would those 2 also run in Dual Channel even though the whole 4 Gb's are not being seen? One thing I'm not sure about. Thanks guys!

yes things will run in dual channel, but as your video card has 640mb ram, you will only get about 3.3gb of usable system ram.

You have a quad core, stop being a wimp and go 64bit :)
 
Worried about driver support and gaming mostly. Heard 64-Bit still has some serious issues....

How about OCing with 64-bit? Any different then on a 32-bit OS???

Serious issues?..HA..i havent had a single issue with Windows XP Pro x64 Edition...Vista x64 on the other hand...:bday:(i play many many games on here..new and old..such as BF2/2142(both will come up with warning that they dont support 64bit OS' but screw Dice :) ), Crysis beta, cod4 demo, too many others to mention)

Overclocking has nothing to do with 32bit or 64bit..no difference
