How do you modify your boot.ini on Vista 32bit? I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 4gigs RAM
That's the thing. If you've got 4GB, you shouldn't have to modifiy the boot.ini. 32bit Windows recognizes 3.25GB of RAM already.
You still have to modify the boot.ini (or set the user va size under Vista) for 32-bit versions of Windows. This is because of how Windows allocates virtual memory for the application. Even though Windows might see 3+ GB of RAM, it's still not going to let any one application use more than 2GB of RAM unless you tell it to.
64-bit Windows uses a different memory model and will already let the client see more than 2GB of memory without any changes.
