I have 4 gigs of ram on my mbp c2duo 2.2ghz but windows vista only sees 3 gigs of ram... can vista not see more thn 3 gigs? if this is true that is a MAJOR flaw in the OS.

Vista 32-bit should ideally support 4GB RAM but in discussions on this topic many people said that they faced this problem

32 bit Vista cannot recognise more than 3Gb of RAM.

thanks for the help, it sucks that windows cant see more than 3 gigs of ram, thats kinda ridiculous... my dads powermac can have up to 16 gigs of ram and its almost 5 years old...

Mac OS X has been 64 bit for I think the latest 3 revisions...making its memory handling far superior to any recent version of Windows. Not to mention 32 bit apps work under a 64 bit system on Mac...can't say the same for a lot of Windows apps.
