All 32-bit versions of Windows (not just Vista) have a 4GB address
space. That's the theoretical upper limit beyond which you can not go.
But you can't use the entire 4GB of address space. Even though you
have a 4GB address space, you can only use *around* 3.1GB of RAM.
That's because some of that space is used by hardware and is not
available to the operating system and applications. The amount you can
use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can
range from as little as 2GB to as much as 3.5GB. It's usually around
3.1GB.

Note that the hardware is using the address *space*, not the actual
RAM itself. The rest of the RAM goes unused because there is no
address space to map it too.

Since you're using Vista 64, did you enable the 64 bit OS memory
remapping in your BIOS?

With all due respect, have you considered some basic computer and Windows
books, or maybe some classes if your local community offers them? This
question is nonsensical, it not only makes little sense but frankly if it
means what I think it does it's immaterial since a 64-bit OS doesn't have
the memory limitations a 32-bit OS does.

Similarly, the "I burned up my last motherboard overclocking it, can someone
tell me how to do it again but right this time?" thread indicates that you
may need some further education in computer basics before you try to step up
to advanced topics and projects.

What make and model of motherboard do you have? Some older boards have no
option in the BIOS for memory hole remapping. I know mine doesn't, so even
with 4GB RAM and x64 OS I'll never get the full 4GB of RAM available for
Windows to use.
