Windows Vista, [Vista Business] Not recognize 4GB Ram - SonyVaio VGN-SZ57N/C + Vista Business

1. [Vista Business] Not recognize 4GB Ram - SonyVaio VGN-SZ57N/C + Vista Business

I bought my SonyVaio Notebook Computer (VGN-SZ57N, with 1GB of Ram) coming 
with an Vista Business installed, I can't work with its poor performance, so 
I bought / installed another new 4GB(2x2GB) Ram to replace the original 1GB 
of Ram(Product Spec. told that it support 4GB of Ram). As a result I 
realized both the Bios and Vista the OS seeing only 3GB(actually 3070MB) 
Physical Memory. I google around and I heard about Hardware's lacking of 
remapping feature and Software's 32 bit OS limitation issues, but I hope I 
still can hear someone here told me that this is an deadend for getting my 
current computer to see and work with 4GB of Ram.

Please let me know whether this is a motherboard limitation or this is a 
matter of 32bit versions of Windows, any explaination... Thanks so much for 
your kindly help, I just felt sick of keeping search on this topic and I 
think I can accept all of this if this is a matter of time (People told me 
SP1 could solve all of this) or money (They told me I should upgrade to 
64bit Vista Ultimate to work 4GB Ram). Hey, anyway thanks again, have a nice 
day. :)

3. Vista Business x86 to Vista Business x64

Hello, I am on a Microsoft Windows Vista Business x86 SP1 system and I would 
like to move up to a Microsoft Windows Vista Business x64 SP1 system, that I 
have ready to go.  I have used and LOVE the Migwiz.exe or Microsoft Easy 
Transfer or Migration Wizard, and I wonder how I can get it to work going 
from x86 to x64?  I can obviously copy my stuff one at a time, folder by 
folder, but if the system can do it for me, that would be great!
Thank you.

5. Vista 32bit not recognizing 4GB RAM - The Final Word

I have created this post before, but I will give one more try. None of the 
discussions I have seen to date answer the question.

I have 4x1Gb RAM installed. Vista recognizes 2.93Gb and BIOS recognises 
3008MB. I changed the Memory Remapping option in BIOS to Enabled. BIOS 
recognises 4GB (4096MB) and Vista now recognizes 2GB. I installed 
VistaBootPro and Enabled PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode. There was no 
difference in the RAM recognized by Vista.

Some postings on these forums claim that certain devices (such as video 
cards) are reserving part of the physical address space for their device 
drivers. That successfully accounts for the difference between 3GB and 
2.93GB. It does not account for the difference between installed RAM (4GB) 
and the available RAM (2.93GB). Installed hardware devices cannot possibly 
reserve more than 1GB of physical RAM.

In order to test my hypothesis, I removed 1GB RAM, giving me 3GB installed. 
Vista shows 2.93GB of available RAM, precisely the same as was available with 
4GB installed.

I can only conclude that unless there is a switch in the BCD file that 
Microsoft has not told us about, Vista 32bit can only use 3GB RAM. Microsoft 
should make clear the maximum amount of RAM that can be used by Vista 32bit, 
under what circumstances it can be used, and how to use it.

7. VISTA business does not recognize me as admin of the box

I am running VISTA BUSINESS.  I joined my set to the domain.  I am in the 
administrators group and I am a DOMAIN ADMIN in my domain.  

However my computer does not recognize me as having admin rights?  HUH?

My domain account is also in the administrators group.

I don't want to right click everything and run as administrator....we have 
other people here who loaded VISTA the same way I did and they aren't having 
problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
