You need 64bit windows for more than 3.25gb.

32Bit Operating systems can only utilize 3.2GB of RAM were as 64Bit Operating systems can use 4Gb,
If you're running 1GBx4 or 2GB+1GBx2 take out a 1GB stick, If you're running 2GBx2 then you have no other option then to remove 2GB leaving you with the original 2GB of RAM. |

I'm running 32bit Vista Ultimate with 4 x 1gb sticks and the system reports 3.25gb, exactly the same as you. This is correct, nothing to worry about.

No need to remove anything ..... as mentioned above, only 64bit Operating Ststems will see/use 4gb and above. My System: Home Build
