Yeah a 32 bit Vista machine can address 4 gigs of RAM. But that is 4 gigs in total. So graphics card etc will mean that of system RAM you won't see the whole 4 gigs. Probably 3-point-something.
But I agree, you don't need more than 2 gigs for most things. But if you have multiple apps open at once or work with several large photos, you can exceed 2 gigs. And an extra 2 gigs for a desktop costs what? $30?
