nothing changes at all when I run the 64-bit DxDiag.

Hmm... well after a little more googling:

If the My Computer -> Properties says 4GB, and the Task Manager reports 4GB total, I think this might get filed under the "don't worry about it" heading.

Well, at least your current computer could actually run the game if it wanted to lol

mine wont if barely at all.

Course, in about 3 to 4 weeks im getting this hopefully

it might be a good excuse to upgrade to win7 64.
vista was the biggest waste of time ever imo.

What he said - no comparison, Windows 7 is a bazillion times more stable and less likely to have hardware issues.

Unless you need a laptop because you travel frequently. For that price. you can get a desktop that is atleast 2 times better then that.

Tsig, I have the same exact specs as you (Except a 460 instead of a 450, and I have Windows 7 64 bit, other than that same hardware) and I can run the game at high settings.

I bought a computer off newegg and it was listed to have 64bit vista but the restore cd's they gave me were 32bit. I contacted them and they directed me to computer manufacturer which wanted 14bux for the 64 bit version cd. I found another 64 bit vista cd and used the key that came with computer and it was fine. Dunno why newegg advertises 64 bit and seems to send 32bit.

On a side note I recommend Windows 7 64 as well. It is so much better then vista.
