4GB RAM now under Vista

Absolutely - you can always play with EDIUS Neo's trial and see the effect of having 4GB.

But...the buffer won't get any larger. The advantage will be that there's less risk of a disk swap hammering your system's performance when you use the highest setting for the buffer. This is our holy grail.

Do you know if SP1 fixed the disc write speed situation?

That's kind of sneaky, IMHO... Both values are good to know - how much is installed and how much is addressable/accessible.

so its reporting it but is it using it?

From what I see Windows is just seeing the ram not using it. Check your task manager.

Well this was a surprise to me, I hadn't heard anything about this happening. Is it just the reporting of the RAM or is the system now able to use it all? I thought it was a 32 bit limitation?

Id be interested to see if more than 4 gigs would show up under SP 1.

I installed Vista SP1 today and noticed the full 4GB under 32 bit OS was seen. Good for EDIUS V5
