IIRC 32 bit wont see more than 2 GB. Tho servers can have anywhere in the neighbor of 32GB. But to see 8GB you will need a 64bit OS far as winbloze goes anyhow.

Keep in mind that if you do get vista 64bit, make sure your vista installer disk includes Service Pack 1, or you''ll have to put in 3gb or less, install sp1, then reinsert it, or it will BSOD FOREVER!!!!
Well, not forever... but until you take the ram out.

32bit Xp and Vista can run 4 gigs. It may not show 4 gigs but windows DOES use all 4 gigs.

All that work just for some extra RAM.......tisk, tisk. 
You guys honestly have to pay more and upgrade your "version" of Windows Vista to recognize a certain amount of RAM? That''s Pathetic! Makes me glad I shot that crap in the head years ago. OSX Leopard FTW!

as good as Mac is, it still cant do all that a PC can. Mainly because the apps out are for winbloze tho.
I like both, but BSD n *nix beats both as an OS lol.
