I ordered two two x one gigabytes of ram. Two packages of two ram sticks, each one gigabyte. I've been frothing ever since I submitted the order. I've never had a computer with maxed RAM, I've been looking forward to this moment since around 2001. Tonight I installed it to find that only 3 of the 4 gigs is available. Also it hasn't made that much of a different from the 1 gig previous. What a let down. My Vista Experience Index won't refresh either.
In more upbeat news, this is the bathroom sign I'm going to print up and use at work on Thursday:
Update: Vista apparently just can't see any memory above 3 GB. I removed one stick of RAM and while the BIOS noticed it had changed, Vista didn't even bat an eye 'cept the BSODs stopped. I'm now in possession of a single 1 GB ddr2 800 mhz stick of RAM and also four 256 MB of varying speeds. If you need, let me know,
They're priced to move.
2nd Update:
This is the article where MS explains that their 32-bit OSes only support 3.1 GB of RAM

As the first paragraph pretty much looks like Chinese to me, I'm going to just go ahead and say that the sign is awesome.
Though we have no giant squid-y things here, I would still consider using it.
That's supposed to be a jelly fish. It's a reference to an old Far Side cartoon.
If you come across that cartoon I'd love to see it.
