I decided to do some research surrounding the 3GB ram problem on Vista 32 bit, and I believe this also applies on all 32 bit systems. But windows has problems detecting ram on the computer between 3 and 4 GB.

So if you was going to install 4gb of ram (This includes your graphics cards) you would not be able to use all of this, so you would find the limit between 3-4gigs but windows has put in a cap at 3.12GB of ram.

Apparently this can?t be fixed completely fixed by using a 64 bit system because the problem still exist between the 3 and 4 GB mark just the loss is improved and there is more loss of about 1 GB when runing a full 8GB.

I got a lot of info from here http://www.dansdata.com/askdan00015.htm but found some bits from other places.

Hope this is helpful please feel free to add to what I found out, this is my first post so hope it was easy enough to read.
