    Correction chanster :D
    Vista shows Installed Physical memory not the memory she handles or uses.You are aware that all 32bit OSes are limited to 4GB of Physical addressing space.Only one way to make it larger,Physical address extensions.With Vista SP1 it will report the installed RAM but will not handle it.Only 3.5GB will be handled letting the left 512MB wasted :P you have to switch to X64 to handle the 4GB.Apparently It would be less than 3.5Gb.You know you have to handle VGA RAM,System peripherals and things ,for all of these only 4GB Address space is available.
    You installed 32 bit on your new PC too?:P For gods sake even I have Vista 32 and 64 bit ultimate DELL OEMs which you dont have to activate :P
    Its a shame to have you known.:rofl: :P Really.Even with this much time with us,ended up in a Intel Desktop board which is overpriced,no OC options,Did the pencil mod without asking and on top of it did a soldering job on a very sensitive part and screwed the CPU,rather than finding conducting pen from Pettah.If you were a one who visits me,I would have kicked your ass for this.:P

    You said what if the job done,I dont care ? :P :P See the drastic results? :rofl:How about frying the board in 3 months , send it to warranty and asks for a say gigabyte?
