>Incidentally, I only see 3.25GB of that 4GB memory because of the way 32-bit systems address memory. There is something called PAE that would allow me to see all of it, but NVidia doesn't support that. Even then, Vista 32-bit would only see 4GB max. The 4GB barrier (f.k.a. the 640K barrier) and 64-bit might be closer than we think.
