nvm, I'd forgotten that the 2gb memory bug existed in the 64bit version as well as the 32bit version of Vista.

heh, didn't know about that. I have Vista 64 installed at home, but I only have 2GB of memory. I wonder if they are using a 32bit installer or something.
I so wish I could fully switch to Linux. Oh well, maybe in a few years they will be able to run the games I play (Ubuntu is almost there, but not quite).

Interestingly this bug is not apparent in any versions of Server 2008 (based on vista sp1) so i think they must have fixed it now (possibly the hotfix is included in SP1?)
