Using more than 2GB of RAM is really not necessary.
Read the following:
The Vista RAM puzzle: Is 2GB enough?

Only "retail" editions of Windows Vista allow you to
obtain 64-bit Windows Vista discs from Microsoft.
OEM versions would require a new 64-bit license and
would have to be purchased from a third-party source such as newegg.com.

I have a PC running an OEM 32bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.
I am contemplating installing an extra 2GB of RAM and am wondering if this
change of spec entitles me to download and purchase the OEM 64bit version of
Vista Ultimate.
Microsoft seem to be reticent about their financial options. As a home user
I do not wish to fork out for the full/retail version.
