I don't see that happening... First of all you would need Vista 64bit and second of all, I suspect it doesn't have enough slots?

True, but they're not as fast. You can ofcourse just take two 2gb sticks and put them in. That should work just fine unless they somehow restricted it in a software-way?

lol no its a hardware restriction. his motherboard CANNOT support more then 2gb, no matter what. back when they made his motherboard, the technology wasnt there to put any more in.
EDIT: either that, or it was a kind of budget board.
