No more RAM for you.

 

Jeff wrote about x84's dirty little secret. Coding Horror: Dude, Where's My 4 Gigabytes of RAM? I feel your pain Jeff.  I have a Intel Core 2  Dual at home but chose to run Vista 32.  I expect a richer driver life over there.  But it hurts to see 500mb of my ram missing in action every day(The thought that I simply cannot max out the ram on this system drives me nuts as well).  I don't think we will ever see good drivers on 64 bit systems Microsoft has set a high bar, One that is not worth jumping over if your a camera, scanner,printer or mouse manufacture.  Right now 64bit is a server and geek thing.  When Mom and Dad need 5gig of ram then we might start seeing "Good Drivers"(I don't know if such a thing has ever existed).
