I'm running Vista 64 bit with four gig of RAM and a Geforce 7100 gs Video
card. THe computer is showing 3199mb of Ram. Total Available Graphics
memory is 1471MB Dedicated Video is 128 MB System Video is 0MB and Shared
System Memory is 1343 MB. How can I get it to see 4 gig of ram?

Upgrade to SP1. Vista won't use all 4 GB, though since some is required for
your shared graphics memory and some is taken up by each PCI slot and other
hardware.

We cannot help you after installing SP1-RC1 as its beta software.

Give it a go and see if it corrects your issue just beware SP1 is
TIME-LIMITED to expire early next year and is not supported anywhere by
anyone.

Who is "we"? The people here can and will certainly support SP1 users!
I've never gotten a useful answer directly from MS so I never use them for
support anyway.

If your MOBO supports more then 4GB you may be able to gain access to
currently unused 800MB that is being reserved for address used by your
graphics card for its own onboard memory and for virtual memory buffers for
use during transfers.

Check if your bios has a memory remap function, and enable it
