According to Microsoft, the maximum that it should see is only 3.12GB, 
as I re****ted. It's the same for 32-bit Vista or XP.

"If a computer has many installed devices, the available memory may be 
reduced to 3 GB or less. However, the maximum memory available in 32-bit 
versions of Windows Vista is typically 3.12 GB."
