And you are showing that you are using the x64 version of Vista? It sounds
like it is the 32 bit limit that is causing it. It sounds about right with it showing that much RAM. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page Was this helpful?

Check the system info page (winkey + pause/break). If it shows "64-bit
operating system" next to System then you are probably right. If it does not then you are probably seeing the correct amount available to Windows regardless of the 4GB of ram shown by the BIOS during POST and showing on the system info page.

Apparently DirectX wasn't updated with SP1 - mine also shows less than 4gb
memory installed also. Whatever it shows isn't going to impact system performance or gaming performance, just as the "3gb versus 4gb" change from Vista Gold to Vista SP1 doesn't make any difference. The computer accesses the memory it can no matter what the display shows. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

The change with SP1 does not affect what you always have seen when you type
'winver' so it wouldn't change what DirectX shows either. I am not running 32bit Vista on anything but I have heard that if you run 32bit Vista with 8GB in the box, 8GB shows in system information but winver shows the same as it would on a machine with 4GB because that is all 32bit Windows can address. It is not clear to me that the SP1 change was useful after all. "Richard G. Harper" wrote in message ...

It wasn't useful at all - IMHO it was marketing plain and simple. People
were mad because they had 4gb, 6gb, etc. of memory and it "wasn't showing up". Now it shows up but it still can't be used.  -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

I too have had the hunch that MS gave up explaining and let the novices have
what they asked for. They weren't asking the right question, of course. Like the saying, "Be careful what you ask for, you may get it." "Tom Lake" wrote in message ... "Richard G.
