For DDR3 DIMMs: • If you install one 4 GB or two 2 GB memory modules, the system may detect less than 4 GB of total memory because of address space allocation for other critical functions. This limitation applies to Windows Vista 32-bit/ Windows XP 32-bit version operating system since it does not support PAE (Physical Address Extention) mode. • If you install Windows Vista 32-bit/Windows XP 32-bit version operating system, we recommend that you install less than 3GB of total memory.
