OK I have a couple questions that may be dumb, but I can't find answers anywhere else, so... here we are. I am looking at buying an Inspiron E1705 with their sale. But here's the stuff I can't find. I know for a fact that the stock processor that laptop comes with (the Intel Core Duo T2350) is a 64 bit processor. The specs are there for anyone to see on the Intel site. Therefore, I know that the processor, at least, can support up to 4 Gigs of RAM. However, Dell tells me that this computer can only support a max of 2 Gigs. Why is that? Is there some other limiting hardware issue I'm unaware of or is it that Dell is only shipping the 32 bit version of Vista? The 64 bit Vista can support 4 gigs of RAM. The 32 bit version can only support 2 gigs. I Dell not shipping the 64 bit version with their 64 bit capable computers? If they are not then why not? When you buy Vista in a store it comes with both the 32 and 64 bit versions. Shouldn't Dell provide me with both? Also, if they are only shipping with 32 bit, then if I upgrade to 64 bit Vista, will this computer then be able to run 4 gigs of RAM? Maybe, the admins will want to weigh in on this, because if the compy is really maxed out at 2 gig, then I won't be buying it, I want this laptop to last me awhile. If I can put 4 gigs in with Vista 64 bit, then can Dell help me with that, or do I need to buy another whole copy of Vista? That would also mean I would not buy this computer. Sorry, that was half rant and a lot of questions. But I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks.
