You can squeeze it out to 3GB if you utilize the 3GB switch in the startup INI file.

Is that RAM all the same on those links? Just because something is a 1GB, doesn't mean its the same speed as the others. I was confused by the links, and wasn't sure which parts you were referring to specifically.

Go to 64bit. I've been using Vista64 for a almost a year with 12GB of Ram and loving it. You cannot use more than 2GB(3 if you know how to make it available) unless you ditch the 32bit OS.
nope - not true

Here are a few MS links if you dont belive me.
