    Maximum rams that 32bit Win Vista can support

    I just got my new PC 2 days ago. I get to know that the Windows Vista Home
    Premium that I purchased is a 32 bit edition. I have a question that is what
    is the maximum ram can my Win vista support at 32bit. I heard from my
    colleague that its max at 2 GB ram, it that true?

    4GB, but depending on your video card, and other system factors, you may
    only see about 3.2GB of it in Windows.

    No. It can support 4 GB (3.5 usable).

    Thanks for the quick reply. I did a search on previous threads regarding the
    same issue. By enabling the memory hole setting in BIOS will it help even if
    I run the x86 Windows Vista?
