Vista - Maximum recognized memory

Will Vista premium recognize more than 2GB of Ram? My Asus mobo will hold up
to 4 gb.

If you have 32-bit it'll go up to 4GB, but the OS will show 3GB. If you use
64-bit you can use more.

All the Vista x86 (32 bit) versions can address / use 4 GB of memory. You
will see less than 4GB in Vista depending on the hardware, but all the
memory is being used.

Yea, I read just yesterday that 32bit Windows can only address 4gb of ram
so if you have a video card with 512mb then that will be subtracted from
what shows in Windows. So 512mb video card means 3.5gb system ram shown in
Windows. Is that info correct?
