I already know that Windows won't report a full 4GB of RAM, but Vista is only reporting 2 GB although I have installed 4GB. Anyway to get Windows to report the 3.2 or whatever the cap is? How do I know that Vista is utilizing the RAM and not the page file more often?
Have 4GB installed. Vista would only show 3GB. A problem with addressable memory. But after installing SP1 a week ago the 4GB now show OK.

Now that you mention it, I have not checked what Windows is reporting since I installed SP1, I'll check and let you know. "Jay Cee" wrote: > Have 4GB installed. Vista would only show 3GB.
