Hello dude,

in theory windows vista can accept 4gb ram but in practice when its done only 3gb will be noticed available

but no worries as windows is using the 4gb its only the display of 4gb which is affected

The problem is that you have to use a 64 Bit Operating system to be able to utilize the full 4 RAM. Otherwise will only use approx 3 to 3.5 gigs of RAM. You can upgrade I believe to Vista home 64 or to Vista Ultimate Operating system. Check with Vista/Microsoft or your computer manufacturer.
