Then you have a 64bit system. Memeory over 4GB can not be addressed by a 32 bit system as there is a limit to how much memory a 32 bit system can address before it is unable to address it for use. Now the motherboard or the CPU may be reporting to windows that there is 6GB available but unless it is a 64 bit system the entire 6 GB will not be available.

Well, my comp is 64bit, with 6Gb RAM, so it looks like I'll stick with a 64bit operating system. I think my version of MySQL is 32bit since its the setup that comes with SoaS. I'm a MySQL Doofus, but maybe using HeidiSQL as the GUI will help with learning how to setup the 64bit version. If that's the case, then its irrelevant whether I use Vista or Win7, tho it seems logical that Win7 will make better use of 64bit resources.

Btw, Walker, my current Win7 does see the whole of the 6Gb I have onboard, not just 3 :-)

    Also I am running my grid on a Windows 7 64bit machine using a 64
    bit version of MySQL and have no issues with textures or sounds so
    far.  The only sound issue I have. I think, has to do with not
    fully supported LSL scripting.  I just hope it is fixed someday.
     I know it isn't the most important thing going.

    I had a script that was used to break a song into 10 or less
    seconds and use this to play the wav files, in order, and play the
    entire song.  This was good for making instruments.  The script
    compiles but won't play properly.  I am assuming it is a problem
    relaterd to all LSL sound functions, and not the same as yours,
    thus had nothing to do with my use of Windows 7 on 64bit.

        I'm currently running Win7 64bit and seem to encounter some
        minor problems with textures and sound. The issues are just
        annoying enough that I am considering retro-grading to Vista,
        perhaps the 32bit version. I had heard that Vista won't
        recognize RAM over 4Gb. Is that so and, if it is, is there a
        fix? What other differences/issues should be considered?
