I was so overjoyed about this initial information, I neglected that piece of recommendation that suddenly has me going 'ah, ****'. 4GB recommended RAM for windows vista/7. I have over 4 sitting in my computer, waiting to be exploited... But vista prevents me from accessing anything over 3GB. How will this effect my performance?
Most likely it won't be affected at all.
If you had around 1GB you could possibly experience long loading, severe fps drops while the level/map loads, and textures not being fully loaded right away.
I believe it depends on the game engine. Either way, at one point, I played ME2 with 1GB of ram and there was zero difference in performance compared to when i had 4GB.
Also, not sure if you're aware but your OS will list 3GB because it is most likely 32bit. If you get a 64bit OS, you can use all of your memory.
