Hi! I have a question. My computer has 4 GB of main memory (4 sticks of 1 GB each) . However, Windows Vista recognizes only about 3.3 GB (3327 MB, to be more exact). Or, at least, that is what I read when I go to -Control Panel-System-View RAM and Processor speed. So, about 700 MB is missing. What's going on? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks! -- Val

If not, my second questions is should I get Windows Vista instead of the XP that I am used to..? I have been reading (on my husband's...
