| No that is the PAE. Just like you can do it with Vista with PAE somehow as well. It can see the 4GB but not use it.

| DO NOT Install Vista x64 because it is way slower than x86. I have proof with benchmarks and programs that are x86 will run slower on the x64 platform because they first go though an emulator. I have tried myself with Photoshop CS3 and it takes ages to load up on x64. I have gone back to x86 and it's much faster. Look at this post for details: Is Vista x64 worth the trouble?

| I am running 4 GB on my XP 32 without any problems. It seemed I had more problems running Vista 64 bit then XP. I don't know if that was memory related though.
