32 bit vista can't address more than 3.1-3.5 GB RAM

Of a modern OS, Vista is surprisingly oldfashioned: 32 bit vista fails
to access more than 3.1-3.5 GB RAM. M$ wants people to buy their
expensive server solutions to run apps requirering more than approx 3.1
GB of RAM. Furthermore 64 bit vista is unable to run 32 bit apps. In
Leopard the support is seemless!
