    Hello all,

    I am currently running Vista 32-bit on my XPS M1710.. Overall it's fairly good, but I think I've reached a point where I could use some more memory. Seeing as how 4GB RAM now costs less than $100 for this unit, while a year ago it was over $400, I think it's a reasonable upgrade.

    If I do this, I might also go for Vista x64 on this machine. I am running x64 on my desktop, and love it.

    I run a lot of memory intensive applications, so I'm beginning to push the limits of what this machine has to offer me. I use Adobe CS3 Master Collection (all of it) and Steinberg Cubase 4 just to mention a couple.

    Thoughts?
