If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit edition and 4GB
RAM and your motherboard’s BIOS supports “Address Hole Remapping” then you can
access all 4GB of RAM.
Under any 32 bit version of Windows, you will only ever see 3 –
3.5GB of RAM due to limitations in the way your video card requires direct
memory mapping within the 4GB space.
I believe Microsoft will provide you with a 64 bit edition of
Windows Vista for the cost of the DVD if you purchased a retail or upgrade
version of Windows. If it came with your PC, ask your PC manufacturer.
I run Vista 64 bit here but beware of other limitations of such
a platform (driver incompatibility etc.)
Best regards,
Richard Dale.

The "Crucial RAM" people just told me that when
you have 4GB of installed RAM, Vista can only see about 3 to 3.5 GB
of the installed 4 GB.
XP has the same problem.
Has anyone heard "WHEN" and or "IF"
this will be fixed?? Ron Davis
