Right, after reading through Mykes thread I have a question about RAM. My PC is running 32bit Vista, and it says "4GB of RAM" on the Control Panel thing... but 32 bit can only use 3GB or something... so is it using 3 or 4 because it detects 4...
Bit silly of PC World to put in 4GB of RAM if it can only use 3...
Somebody clear it up. Thanks!

Take away the amount of graphics card RAM you have from the 4GB. That will give you how much the system can use.

Vista Service Pack 1 will show 4GB, but not use it all.
It will use 3.whatever depending on how much RAM your graphics card has.:8

What type of GPU is it? Integrated or card?

No idea... it's a nVidia GeForce 7100, if that helps... Originally Posted by Stephen

From that it says it can use 3GB, right?

It will be sharing your RAM to increase its RAM size.

Kinda annoying... when I have quite a few things open my RAM usage is at 38% and it never seems to exceed that...

Nope, its physically impossible

You can make it emulate a 36-bit, meaning 64GB RAM is possible but i would strongly advise not trying it.
