Vista SP-1 will work with 4GB RAM

4GB is the max limit for 32bit processors. You need a 64bit processor to utilize more than 4GB memory.

using 32bit sfotware on a 64 bit platform will not be a problem as the 64bit platform fully supports the 32bit code set. (Atleast on linux, there's no such issue. 32bit apps work just fine on 64bit linux OS).
