My new laptop

Okay, next problem. I was thinking of increasing the laptops memory from 2GB to 4GB. BUt I'm hearing that 32-bit vista will only recognise 3.5GB of installed ram. it's something to do with the 32-bit environment.

So, where does my extra 512mb ram from the memory sticks go then? is it just idle or does my graphics card use it? If so how do you check it's using it???
