    Hello,

    I was wondering...If I got a 32 bit version of Vista Home Premium and 4GB of RAM, would it recognize 3.12GB of my RAM or would it only recognize one of the two 2GB RAM cards?

    It will recognize about 3.xGB, depending upon the chipset.

    To have the system recognize all 4GB of RAM, you would need the 64-bit version of Vista.
