I installed vista for the first time and when I did I was expecting to see my
4gb of ram to show up but it only shows me that I have 2812mb of ram. Is
there a way to get the rest of my ram to show up and/or be used?

Any Help would be Greatly appreciated
Thanks
 
You must be using the 32Bit version of Windows. It can only address 4 GB of
RAM. Your video card RAM and other system devices use some of that address
space (not your physical RAM). In order to have Windows "see" the full 4 GB
of RAM, you would have to upgrade to the 64 Bit version.

There is a /PAE switch that may work to help with some of it
