    Hi,

    anyone can confirm that the Studio 1555 supports Memory Remapping?

    If not even Vista 64Bit won't be able to use the full 4GB of RAM..

    thx.

    The studio 1535 saw all 4096MB of RAM with 64-bit. I don't see why they would downgrade. Memory remapping seems to be standard nowadays.

    The Studio 1555 supports up to 8GB of DDR2 if you wanna pay for it. With Vista 64, there's no reason it shouldn't all show up in the Task Manager. Not quite sure if "only what Task Manager says matters" is correct, though...

    Once again, Commander Wolf beats me at being right. :p

    As long as you have a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista, Windows (task manager included) should recognize all 4GB of RAM, all the way up to 8 if you decide to install that much.
