Hi, I am running 32-bit Vista Ultimate and have 4GB of RAM installed on my computer. I had installed Vista SP1 on my system as I had heard that it would allow for the OS to address 4GB of RAM. I then found out that this included Video Memory amongst other things, so I would not see 4GB of RAM. In task manager, it can address 3326 MB of my RAM, so I was thinking, is there any way I can allow Vista to use all 4GB of my RAM without having to install a 64 bit OS? This is because I have just finished my build and only just got everything the way I want it. Getting a copy of Vista 64 is not an issue as I am sure i can borrow a copy from some friends so a way with which I can transfer everything to a new install would also be a way of solving my issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
If it makes any difference here are my specs:
Q6600 @ ~3GHz
SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit PCI
ATI PowerColor HD4850
ASUS P5-Q (P45)
4GB DDR2-800 (which i think is running a bit faster at 815 MHz)
Thanks again.
