From what my son said, it takes the 64 bit OS for the additional ram, and if HE says the 64 bit Vista is "still glitchy" then that is it for me. He is soooo amazing (yes, even if he were not my son! ;) with the tech world, he knows what his "older" Mom needs and my machine is soooo fast now.... I know too that in the future when the 64 bit OS gets more stable, he may upgrade me and my ram...and I might then try vue 6 infinite again (yep, thinking that is the one that wants all the ram and the 64 bits).... so I feel pretty well cared for... 

He built the machine and brought it to me and would not leave till we were sure vue and poser were happy, and I could get around...and then I have been on the phone off and on for a few days while I run into things to learn, and he is so patient with me! I am one lucky Mom!! :D 

OH LOL... ANY kitty avatar is just "the best" IMHO! :))

oh... my... maybe I should eat something?? I keep forgetting... LOL!!

Life Requires Assembly and we all know how THAT goes!
