Windows users are the same folks who go down to the courthouse and ask to have a free ankle bracelet installed.

Rebuilt my 7 year old computer a few weeks back, initially put 16GBs RAM in then ordered another 16GBs and installed it 1/2 hour ago....... Windows show the 32 GBs but says only 16 is usable...... Checked MSCONFIG - Boot - Advanced, the max RAM box is unchecked so that's not the problem. Dig around the internet and discover that Win 7 Home Premium x64 only supports 16GBs of RAM. What money hungry asshole at M$ came up with that ripoff??!!
So now I have to either purchase Win 7 Pro or Ultimate or upgrade to Win 10 to use the 32 GBs......... Damn am I pissed!!!!!!

Using win98se and 384MBs EDO RAM just fine. Have a memory management prog called Cacheman that has a setting to use up physical RAM first before virtual memory and almost never tap into that unless using Google Maps and the like.

Key to performance isn't RAM but knowing how much computer you need for what you actually do. If web browsing, playing an mp3, watching porn (heh) you do not need the latest greatest wunderbox pc or maxxed out RAM. Actually lose performance with full RAM slots. If the RAM's dual whatever, 2 sticks is 'dual' config. 4 sticks costs you fps and overall performance.

In all likelyhood even 16 GBs is overkill and a memory manager will fix you up straight away. Can't imagine you need umpteen apps open simultaneously. Close down what not actually using, optimize your rig so not wasting resources on stuff you don't even know is running, and learn how to use your computer.

Never mind, got it working, turned it off, plugged the SATA cable into a different slot and rebooted.
Been busy loading what I want, deleting what I don't want (and can delete for now). Did find a program that not only blocks Microsoft's "spying" but also allows you to uninstall all the Microsoft Apps that you don't want, (that would be all of them for me).

You wouldn't want to PM me that program would ya?

Pretty sure I know how to use my computer..... Guess you missed the part where I mentioned I build and configure my own. Made a simple mistake and didn't remember Win 7 Home Premium only supported 16GBs, hell I've had Win 7 since it's release. You're happy with what you have, I'm happy with what I have.

Putting it together isn't equal to knowing software. Can reformat a hd, debug, purge malware, tweak and customize a rig for gaming, etc. But hire a professional to install things. Always afraid I'll transmit a static spark and fry things or bend a tiny pin.

Back in the DOS/WFW days, I'd tweak my config.sys and autoexec.bat files better than a pro software app to maximize conventional RAM.

If you have maxxed out RAM for an OS and think you need twice as much, your system isn't optimized.

That´s not valid for XP or later

Already listed it in the thread. Now that being said I did not use it to uninstall the built in Apps, not sure it would be a good idea obviously as most of it is built into the OS but it did turn off the M$ spyware and block it in the firewall.
All of those Apps can be turned off so it's not that big of a deal.

Please be so kind and name the program that allows one to uninstall all the microsoft apps and the Borgware. Thank you

Did some more checking (for anyone interested) The Microdaft bloatware added to Windows 10 are nothing more than Apps that the uninstall function has been removed from by Microdaft, so yes they can be removed without harming your system.

 

[Bleipriester]

One can even remove them from the disk so that they won´t be installed at all.

That's great if one has the install disc but most are getting Win 10 via the upgrade.

BTW, the link I provided for blocking/getting rid of the Windows spyware I downloaded for a different computer and Panda Free told me it was infected when I tried to install it so I recommend no one use it.

Do not use this link!!! It appears that in the last couple of days someone attached a virus to it, Panda Free caught it when I tried to install it on another computer.
