That's complete BS, one of the main points of the 64 bit version is being
able to use more RAM. All your DIMMs are exactly the same and all the same
size, and they all work seperately, so the "test your RAM" and "bad RAM"
people should STFU. Obviously the extended RAM support of Vista 64 doesn't
work.

Try Windows XP 64 bit.
