Notebook manufacturers have for some reason started to say 3GB is the maximum for 32-bit Windows. I know about Windows reserving almost a gigabyte for system bus use, and the bug in XP that used to display only 3GB in Computer Properties when 4GB was installed, however I think they are going off bad information. They must be referring to certain intel core i7 with ddr3 that use triple band memory configurations of 3 or 6GB, but not many notebooks will have this configuration
