Actually, I've got 4GB of memory installed on my machine and can confirm that both 32-bit XP, and 32-bit Vista are able to access up to 3GB, not 2.  If you have more than 3 Gig of RAM installed, the remainder will not be accessible until you move to 64-bit. 

Thanks for correcting my assumptions - I should have researched the matter in a bit more depth - sorry for misleading anyone.

However is that on a 32 bit machine or a 64 bit machine.

ie: if I added more than 2 gig to my son's AMD 3200 would Vista 32 access it?
