Default 4GB of ram

Yes, there is better driver support than XP, but it is still very much

Thanks for your help. Is there better driver support for Vista 64-bit than
XP 64-bit. That is the main reason that I didn't purchase the xp version.

32Bit version of Windows will only report ~3.2GB of RAM. The 64 bit will
show the full 4GB.

I just installed an extra 2GB of RAM in my PC bringing the total to 4GB. My
BIOS is picking up the 4GB of RAM but vista says that I only have 3GB
installed. Any suggestions. I thought Vista supported up to 4GB
