I've heard of it during the MS developer's forum. The problem here is
- Whatever people say, softwares does have a hard time writing data to the space above 3.5GB, especially drivers
- Graphic Memory will ALWAYS be allocated starting from the last 4GB of the allocated space, thus more often that not, remapping the memory won't really do a thing.

i also have this question lingering in my mind for a long time. i understand the engineering behind.

my question is now,

is it a waste to buy a memory more than 2 GB? well, let say we have a graphic card with 1Gb of memory (and probably SLI or CF = 2GB).

Graphics card memory (unless integrated) isn't shared. It's dedicated. Therefore, there's a reason to buy 4GB (not 2GB too little) if your gonna use high-end graphics card with 1GB of dedicated graphics card memory.

I m using 32bit vista ultimate. in my computer properties it show 4GB ram. but y i"dxdiag" it only show 3GB? act i m using 4GB 800MHz...

Any version of Windows Vista 32bits with SP1 are able to detect 4GB of RAM, but can't fully utilize it. If so, you need Windows Vista 64bits.

Not quite bro. While it IS dedicated,the BIOS has to allocate the memory to the board. Thus as I said above, it uses the mapping for memory starting from the 4GB and will go downwards. This is because in the ye olde days, no one would think even a graphic card will have memory of it's own

u can try download ramdisk software...the software can make the extra ram to become hard disk. u can use this hard disk to store temp file. u also can set how many ram to become ram disk. try search ramdisk from google for detail

hello all pro n ppl in here,

when was the window 7 release date?? Is it stil in beta vers now?

So basically, MS Vista 32bit utilize the ram usage max up tp 3.5 only? same like XP?

yea..as long as your OS is 32-bit it can only utilize that much

beta version already past november last year.

it will release end of this year.

running 4gb in full speed with 64 bit.. XD

well, for gaming, 3.5GB or 4 GB ram isnt a matter

But it seems in XP it shows up only as 3.2GB RAM. Ah well, it's more than enough

I've install Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 but in my task manager only reads total 3069MB but I've got 4GB of RAM? Why? Have a dedicated 512MB GC. Why can't I utilize it up to 3.5?

I thought my 3 gfx cards will gobble up tons coz each of my gfx is 768mb. Tri SLI means 2gb plus on teh gfx cards alone, but I still get about 3gb usable. OK lar I guess. Luckily still got 3gb or else I have to go 64bit oredi.

The amount of RAM on your Gfx card has nothing to do with the amount of space allocated for the MMIO. So you can have 10 Gb Gfx card and it's still okie. You can adjust where's the Limit through the BIOS I believe. It can be ranging from 2.75Gb to 3.5Gb. Pending on what you set.
