This motherboard is "Vista Certified" and supports up to 8GB max.
Maybe when the extra memory is installed the "remap" is automatic. It
is a bit too expensive to buy the memory just to test this, so I won't
bother with this right now.
It seems you can't get a clear answer on the Asus support website
either. I was hoping to hear from people that have 4GB installed on
this motherboard with Vista 64bit but either they are not reading the
forum or there are none. :-(
