Xp Recognizes upto 4gb too.

All 32 Bit OS's can see upto 4gb of Ram (GPU counts aswell)
Upto Vista Home Pro 64 bit see's 16Gb
Vista Ultimate 64 Bit see's 136Gb

why would you count the Vram? no one need to know that.  it's total of 3GB of real ram. 

and I would stay with a 32 bit system.

Because when you get that high, you turn off V.Ram, as its wasting good ram.

didn't know you could turn Vram off.   does that take away Vram or does it allow you to have more but still allows you to utilize Vram?
