    Right now, I have a 32 bit Windows Vista Business which only sees 3069MB of my 4GIGZ of Ram.

    I would just like to ask, if i upgrade to a Windows Vista BUsiness 64bit, would i still be able to use the programs in my 32bit, then install them and use them in my NEW 64 BIT OS.

    I would just love nothing else than to see my computer use all of 4 gigz of ram.

    32 bit programs work in x64, so no worries there.

    No, your chipset does not support 4gb of ram.
