yeah i was well chuffed... lol thye sent it in size XXL... must be for all the fat geeks. bit baggy is an understatement.
 
looked up on net, apparently it says vista 32 bit will show 4gb in your BIOS but in the system info it says 3gb? so its a waste of 1gb?? hmmm

may purchase another 2gb if it works!!
 
All 32bit operating systems can see a maximum of 4GB. It is a mathematical limit, not the OS. Vista x86 like XP x86 will show a little over 3GB on System Properties. This is normal. The "missing" ram is not really missing It is used by the system and not presented to the user. There is a range of addresses at the upper end of 4GB that is reserved. In a system with less than 4GB these are logical addresses and are handled by the system that way. However, when the system has 4GB it must block out physical ram to protect the reserved addresses. In addition, the BIOS will reserve some additional address space for use by devices detected by the BIOS.

No 32 bit OS will see full 4Gb memory, only 64 bit OS, I thought you could get Vista 32 bit in which case it def wont see 4GB, only about 3.2

This has been raised at overclockers forums endlessly and everyone states that you need 64 bit to use 4Gb
