Hey guys, I saw this point written in the specification of the B75A-G43 GAMING motherboard on MSI's website

"Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed may be less than the size of the physical memory installed"

Does this mean I can only install the 32-bit version of Windows 7? and does it mean if I install 8GB of ram (2x4GB) it will just be a waste?

It means that if you install a 32bit Os you will be bounded by the limitations that the Os have

Oh..Hahaha it sounded to me like "you can only install a 32-bit version and suffer with the limitations". Thanks so much for the clarification :s22:

Oh! Hahaha! Ohya Skyrim needs a better CPU instead of GPU to play on high right? Think my 3470 will be able to handle it?

Hmm..then why does MSI states that it has a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation?

32 bit addressing means the OS can access up to 2^32 (4294967296) addresses of memory, and that is 4Gb of RAM. 64 bit addressing will allow you to access up to 2^64 addresses extending to 16.8 Exabyte of RAM in theory. Its not a MSI problem, its just a requirement to go beyond 4Gb. Windows x64 imposes a limit on the address space though, depending on version but its pretty hard to hit that limit. :)

32bit Windows 7 Home OS - limits you to less than 4GB ram usage.
64bit Windows 7 Home OS - limits you to 16GB ram usage.

That I know. I'm just unsure if the B75A - G43 Gaming will support 64 bit windows 7

Ok lets see, if in a neighbourhood you can only have addresses with block numbers containing 2 digits, you can only have block numbers between 00 to 99. But what happens when you have more than 100 block of flats in the neighbourhood? You'll need more than 2 digits to represent the block numbers. Therefore, its not the problem of the neighbourhood but the problem of how the blocks are labelled. Mails sent using the old 2 digit block numbers will never reach the right address. :s13:
