This is due to the limitations of the 32bit architecture. What Sp1 does is merely show you what ram is installed on the system. Hi guys.. So its not the matter of 32 bit or 64 bit , moreover service pack 1 didnt able to slove this problem.
So if u guys a have any idea pls post or mail me at aks7sach rediffmail. Re: i m using windows vista 64 bit service pack 1. Very strange! Almost sounds like you are still running bit Vista. But at the moment is displaying 4GB. Can i configure this manually? Re :: hi timm …. Its not strange man. I m also with the Hp laptop with Windows vista 64 bit SP1 and ya its showing 4 Gb in system configuration but for your information if u wanna check how much your system exactly utilize your ram … type dxdiag.
After upgrading to SP1 its fakely showing you 4 gb of ram but actually u able to utilize only 3. Thank you for a simple explanation! I really appreciate you taking the time to just state things straightforward like that. You could give Dell lessons. Good post. I have seen it on my computer too. An increase of memory is always good and improves the performance of other computer or laptop! As came to this site, I saw this website below which also deals with the subject!
All four OSes show 3. Is 3GB memory is a lot? How many Software can I program? This should allow you to run over a dozen programs at once with little disk swapping. I heard that I need to install some kind of an update in order to use al my ram. Im using vista home premium. Does anyone know anything about this kind of updates?

But nothing substantial. Your DVD making process might be sped up too but that doesn't sound too taxing, so don't expect big gains. Performance has never been good, even after disabling Aero. SeanT Distinguished Member. Vista runs fine in a 1 gig virtual machine If it's an older machine, 3 gig is the way to go - if it's ddr2 you might aswell get 4 for the price of the stuff! Thanks gents - I'll save my money Simon. The best thing you can do with vista is install sp1 and give it at least 2gb of memory.
You're at least half way there, don't know if you've done the SP1 install or not. If not, probably worth giving that a go. Lucky Active Member. Singh said:. Click to expand Did you manage to find all the drivers you needed to make the computer actually work.
SeanT said:. After all the issues raised with Vista in in the past I think it is rapid and runs smoothly. I have had no issues so far, only been a week, and so far am wondering what all the fuss is about.
Even installed quickly. Max I can have is 3gb due to the motherboard so I will stick with 2gb, but I am impressed and very happy I upgraded Also, MCE is a nice touch and runs quickly and smoothly.
I am not begun doing anything too intensive though. Accylad Distinguished Member. It has to be said I don't use my PC in anything other than a "home" setup. Hi, Have had a brief look at the previous posts. Something to remember with 32bit opperating systems is that they only hadle a maximum of 4gb of ram.
If you have a 1gb graphics card only 3gb of ram will be used with Windows 32bit, xp or vista. Just cause the motherboard supports up to 8gb of ram doesnt mean it will be used!!! If you want more than 4gb total ram to be used by the opperating system then you should go for 64bit windows.
IMO the more ram the better!! Regards Trev!
