Vista SP1 installed.
 
I've installed Vista SP1, pc is now a bit snappier and my pc nows see's the whole 4gb of ram, before it was seeing around 3.3gb.

Any problems? Does everything work?

Yes it all seems fine.

Took about 20 mins to install on this pc,q6600,4gb ram.
However, my laptop, 1.6ghz,1gb ram took around 1hr.

Interesting that this pc nows see's all of the 4gb ram, i wonder if it would see more, ie 4 x 2gb sticks. 8GB mmm !!

I'm pretty sure vista will see how ever much ram your motherboard will take.

Vista didn't see all of the ram before, it only said i had 3.3gb, or thereabouts, so there was a limit on what it saw, i just wonder what that limit is now.

I guess that's just for show.

32 bits systems can't use the whole 4gb of RAM.

Microsoft only did this so as not to scare the newbies that are buying their brand new pre-built computers.

"How come Windows says I don't have 4gb of RAM? Did the salesman trick me?"
