Have you enabled memory remap in the BIOS? The remap
will move the hardware addressing to the 5th GB, giving
Vista 64 access to the full 4GB.

No, it has to be done in the BIOS.

Try checking the web site for the motherboard manufacturer. There may be a
BIOS update. Check your motherboard manual too - there should be a PDF
online - for memory mapping information.

I think there's someting more going on than just the available
memory issue. Did anyone notice that the OP's system has a
3.06 GHz P4 and 533MHz RAM, but only has a performance
rating of 1. With those specs it should be in the vicinity of 4.
My old 2.4GHz P4 with PC3200 RAM rated at 3.7.

Good catch. The OP needs to drill down and get the details of of the
experience index to see which item is not performing.

Or which failed to complete a performance test, Vista assumes 1.0 until
proven otherwise.
