64 bit - Memory sticks, 32 and 64 Bit OS


My current setup:


Windows Vista, 32 bit



  • 2 sticks of 1 GB Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz ram

  • Asus P5K3 Deluxe Motherboard


My Theoretical, temporary setup



  • Windows Vista, 32 bit

  • 4 sticks of 2 GB, 1333 MHz ram


Final setup in 2 months time



  • Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit

  • 4 sticks of 2 GB, 1333 MHz ram


Questions:


Is there any problems with having 8 GB ram in a 32 bit Windows Vista?
As i understand it, i would simply only be able to utiluse ~3,2 GB of them. The rest would just be unsused.
Is this correct?


Does anyone have any notes i should be aware of, before buying this?

Yes, the extra memory will be physically present, but not usable by a 32-bit OS. It will not cause problems.
