u need 64bit
Yea but shouldnt ultimate come with 64bit anyways?
Did you visit good old unlce torrent or mr W. arez for this version?
But go into the search bar and type in msconfig and hit enter
boot>advanced options>max memory
might do it!Network with your people: https://www.builtinireland.ie/

Retails comes with a disc for each, but the OEM editions only provide the specified version.0 -

Ah Mr. Juarez.
The reason you can only see 3.3gb of ram is that a 32bit os can only allocate 3,200,000,000 bytes. To see anymore you will need a 64bit os.0 -

Err, no, both RAM and memory addressing are measured in binary bytes (unlike hard drives), the upper memory is reserved for various devices, such as the graphics card, effectively lowering the theoretical 32bit limit of 4096MB by as much as 768MB (total ~3 489 660 928 bytes).
To access above this or to fully utilise 4GB RAM, you need to have a fully 64bit OS, the 64Bit OS itself has a lower limit than the theoretical also (currently at 128GB I believe), and the processors themselves don't utilise the full 64bit memory addressing, even if that much RAM were available, but that will be solved as the limits are reached (requiring new software/hardware).
Vista SP1 changes the amount of memory from what Windows can actually use (3.25GB) to what the BIOS reports (4GB), this was mostly to stop all the support calls, as people don't understand how it works Windows itself is still limited (this is mostly hardware related anyway, and was a design decision taken back when 32bit processors were being designed). 0 -

Yeah, the limit is 128GB in Vista Ultimate/Business/Enterprise. Home premium has an artificial ceiling of 16GB though
