Vista can handle no more than a grand total of 4 GB of RAM (including the RAM being used for the video card).

That is not true. I have a friend who is running vista on a quad-core computer with 8 GB RAM. Vista can handle as much as you want it to with the right processor.

Partially true. 64 bit vista (or anything) can use practically as much RAM as you throw at it as long as it has a 64 bit processor (which it needs to run anyway.) 32 bit address spaces however are limited to around 4GB (2^32), in practice this shows up as less in vista, usually a bit over 3GB. That's the general rule anyway.
The limit isn't to do with the fact it's a quad core or anything like that, it's all in the number of bits.
