ok theres been some confusion i want to clear up
ive seen a lot of posts where people are saying that service pack one for vista will allow 32bit os to use 4G of ram
"With SP1, Windows Vista will report the amount of system memory installed rather than report the amount of system memory available to the OS. Therefore 32-bit systems equipped with 4GB of RAM will report all 4GB in many places throughout the OS, such as the System Control Panel. However, this behavior is dependent on having a compatible BIOS, so not all users may notice this change."
all tho the os will report the amount of system ram
the os its self will not be able to use all 4G of ram because a 32bit os can not recognize more then 3.5G of ram
so any body wanting to utilize all 4G of ram at the same time will have to use the 64bit os of vista
