Wired,

It's not the OS it's the chipset, and I do believe the latest chipsets can assign the memory reservations above the 4G barrier.

If you can, get vista 64 bit. Otherwise with 32-bit version, you'll be short changed on your RAM, and there is no possibility of "fixing" that (not Microsoft's fault, this is a limitation of all 32 bit OS)

Vista 32-bit has been patched to make it look like you're getting all 4GB, but this isn't actually the case. It shows the amount of RAM installed, not the amount of RAM available.
