Abit ip95 and Vista x64

Hi all,

I've built this box up to use with my Samsung HD telly.

Intel e6600
Abit ip95 mobo
4gb OCZ pc5400
MSI 7900 GTO
2x Hitachi 500gb (raid0)
Pioneer DVR112D
Antec Fusion Case

The problem I'm having is that Vista still only see's 3gb of RAM, cant see anything in the bios to change that would relate to this.

Do I need a better mobo? any help appreciated.

Is there a memory remapping option in BIOS?

r u 100% sure running Vista x64 and not maybe running Vista x86?
How much mem does it say you have within the BIOS and on the BIOS boot screen?

Sounds like Vista32 as I built a similar system a few weeks ago and it used 4GB OK but that was with Vista64.

Have a read of:

When I look at system in the CP it shows the OS as being 64bit.

Also I have an there is an x86 Program files folder and just a program files folder.

I'm stumped!!
