Actually it will see up to aproximately 3.6 gigs depending on how your hardware is mapping out memory for devices. My 4 gig Vista system here reports 3.53 gigs out of the 4 gig total.

All 32 bit operating systems will handle up to 3 gb of ram. This is a limitation of the 32 bit implementation. The 64 bit operating systems do not have this issue.
