    I just ordered my first laptop, first dell, first 64bit OS machine, and am getting my Vista cherry popped all at the same time. That being said, I have picked up 4gb of GSkill ram from Newegg.com that I will be installing on the lappie and wanted to utilize all of it. My question is, what do I need to do in order to get everything to work correctly with 64bit Vista?
