64-bit yes/no?

Vista scales up its memory usage to the amount of RAM you have. If you have more RAM, Vista will use more, plain and simple.

Yeah but its supposed to scale in MB not percentages; with 3 GBs it uses 1.32GB of RAM (44%), with 4GB it should use 1.76GBs (still 44%).

Do a defrag, clean out temp files and look at what's running in the background. Final solution would be a fresh install, but those are no fun.

I'm not worrying too much about a defrag or the temp files because I've only had it installed for one week (and my 32-bit didn't slow down that much after 5 months). And background apps (I'm pretty sure aren't the problem) because I still haven't installed as many of my programs that run in the background.

Thanks for the ideas tho,

Alright I just installed Halo 2 (First game since the 64-bit installation), and I noticed something was missing in my games browser. (Please excuse my terrible mouse-handwriting)

The bar with the cover art and system rating, and the bar with the ESRB and publisher info are gone. Does anyone know how to enable these?

Thanks, but I'm afraid that didn't change it.

Well, I've finally encounted the first real problem with 64-bit. My favorite classic game, Dark Forces II (being from 1997) is not compatible with 64 bit Windows. What should I do to get around this?

(By the way, anymore ideas for the games info bar?)

Thanks,
