Vista Compatibility

[npsken]

I was reading some reviews for the ram below and I noticed a few people saying that it isn't compatible with Vista:

I thought that ram was ram and the operating system shouldn't matter? Am I wrong in this assumption?

That's why you don't listen to advice from most Newegg reviews. They're probably going by the "Vista Ready" or "SLI Ready" stickers some mfgs make you pay extra for.

OS doesn't matter, you probably need to worry about your board compatibility more although these G.Skill 1.8-1.9V kits are great in that regards. Running 4 of that kit's big brother sticks without issue, in Vista too!

Shoot. I've got 4 of these bad boys (8GB total) running in a dual boot Ultimate 32-bit/Business 64-bit setup and it's simply awesome! Really makes the 64-bit OS runs sweet, and no ill effects on the 32-bit side.
