M2N-E and Vi$ta 64-bit

[Man-wai Chang ToDie]

I could install it with only 2G RAM. All attempts to install Vi$ta x64
when the motherboard was 4G RAM would fail.

After installation using 2G RAM, if I added 2G more RAM to it, Vi$ta
would blue-screen as well.

Why? Something to do with the 4G boundary?

What if I added 4G more RAM rather than 2G?

I had the same problem, same motherboard. This fixed it:

Tech Support at Corsair gets the credit for telling me about it.

Too bad there is no way to install the patch DURING installation.

I needed to find it out myself... ha...

That is notably pathetic of Microsoft especially since they state the
following: "If you purchased a PC in the last two years, chances are good
that you can run Windows Vista."
We must conclude that they are ignorant of the possibility that someone
might have a MB with more than 3GB or ram installed. And people still pay
for licenses so they can be Microsoft's guinea pig for their latest
downgrade (aka profit opportunity). So sad.
