I know Windows XP Professional 32 bit only supports up to 3 GB and I am certain Vista 64 will support 4 but not sure about Vista 32. Just Google "How many gigs of ram can Vista Support" How many are showing up?

(EDIT)
It will use all 4 gigs just not report it. To see it you have to look in your BIOS..................

32bit OS will not read 4 GB of ram. Its usually 3 point something. 64bit OS will. I have the same issue with my Toshiba 32bit OS with Vista and 4 GB of ram installed.
 
Humm thats strange..Cause I got it working and yes this is Vista 32 bit.Again its in the Bios...I now got the full 4 gigs and my inspirion never been Happier!...
 
Yup just like I SAID it will work just look in the BIOS.................
