Vista (and possibly even XP with SP3) can correctly display the total amount of memory installed. However, the remaining RAM will still be unusable. Check to see how much free/used/total RAM is displayed in the Task/Process Manager.

True, true. The BIOS summary page will show 4.0GB of RAM, too. However, it's the same story, nothing (currently known) will let you access memory over 3.0GB on a T60/R60/Z61x machine. Of course with 4GB of RAM (matched sized memory sticks), you do get the slight performance boost from dual channel memory mode.

T60/61 memory limitatins sticky needs some update. Every once in a while there are "memory miracles" with these machines...
