Sorry to nitpick but the statement that 64-bit supports only 16TB maximum is wrong, it's actually 16777216TB, which equates to 16EB.
An operateing system would also have to be coded to support a certain amount of memory aswell. As an example, although 64-bit allows for up to 17179869184GB of RAM, Windows Vista Premium only allows 16GB, whilst the Business and Ultimate versions only support 128GB. When working out the maximum amount of addressable memory you use the simple 2^x formula, where "x" is the address space available, 32-bit, 64-bit, 128-bit, etc... Addressable Memory In 32-bit 2^32 = 4294967296 Bytes 4294967296 / 1024 = 4194304 KiloBytes 4194304 / 1024 = 4096 MegaBytes 4096 / 1024 = 4 GigaBytes Addressable Memory In 64-bit; 2^64 = 18446744073709551616 Bytes 18446744073709551616 / 1024 = 18014398509481984 KiloBytes 18014398509481984 / 1024 = 17592186044416 MegaBytes 17592186044416 / 1024 = 17179869184 GigaBytes 17179869184 / 1024 = 16777216 TeraBytes 16777216 / 1024 = 16384 PetaBytes 16384 / 1024 = 16 ExaBytes

Is there any other type of Vista supports more than the 128GB? I thought Ultimate was pretty much everything, nothing hidden, all features.

That codec pack didn't seem to work correctly for my files....I'd suggest the combined community codec pack. This includes Mastroka for HD support.

Thanks for the info. I learned something new. I thought x64 was the same as 64 bit!
