in installed 5536 and the first thing i saw was that i missing a whole gig of
memory. vista beta 2 sees the 4 gig but not 5536, is this normal or what.

5536 is 32 bit. Were you using a 64 bit version before? With a 32 bit OS you
are limited to 4 GB and the motherboard reserves some of it for I/O.

The last 512mb is reserved for legacy #@%@#%@

It is a 32bit thing... try installing teh 64bit build and it sees all...

I used both 32 bits and 64 bits beta 2 and they both saw the 4 gigs. that why
i can not understand why 5536 does not.
