Oh, almost forgot. Something kinda amusing...

My old BIOS had my 4 ram DIMMS reported as 4096 of installed memory. Silly me, I actually thought the BIOS was right. Turns out I built the PC such a long time ago I had forgotten what I literally put in the sockets. They were actually 4 pair of 500MB dimms for a REAL total of 2 gigs, not 4. I had to yank out a pair and look at em closely to actually figure out what I had in there.

Flashing the new BIOS corrected that misidentification and at least now I don't feel so bad about Vista not recognizing 4gigs... I spent a day and a half trying to figure out why my 2 gigs wasn't being recognized as 4. :rotfl:
