Is the version of Vista installed on the laptop a 32-bit version? 32-bit OSes have a limitation as to how much RAM they can see and use - roughly somewhere around 3.3-3.5 GB. (I don't remember the exact number.)

Yes 32 bit, I thought it might be something like that, thank you for taking time out to help.

All the RAM is being used but some goes to support video display, PCI bus and other system use. ~3.0-3.5 GB is addressable by user.
