I recently reformatted my laptop (go go keylogger -_-)
anyways
I noticed something odd, when i got this laptop i upgraded it from the standard 1gb ram to 4gb in total knowing well that 32 bit vista doesn't support 4gb but 3 gb will be fine for me. I checked the computer properties and sure enough it only recognized 2.87 gb or so with the rest bieng eaten up by gfx card.
Fast forward to getting all updates, SP1 etc etc, i check my computer properties again and now it shows 4GB ram.
So does my computer recognize and utilize 4gb ram or is it just showing the 'installed' modules and in reality still utilizing only 3gb?
