max RAM usage

Directly from Microsoft's own website:

I think he was right to correct me, I did say 3 GIGs when its 4. I just thought it was 3 because my 32-bit Vista showed 3 when I had 4, and now 7 shows 4, but 3 usable.

Thats assuming a shared memory graphics card. There are some laptop chips with some built in memory, and some that share, as well as some dedicated some shared. (Mine has 256 MB dedicated, able to share too though.)
