For example, if you have 4x1 GB ram sticks and a VGA with 512 MB ram, it will detect 3.5 GB ram (and the vga ram of course). It is not the limit of 32 bit (32 bit can address 64 GB memory) it is the limit of the OS. If you want to use all 4x1 GB ram correctly, you need to use Vista Home premium 64 bit edition.

Edit: sorry for my english...

If you put 4GB in a 32-bit environment some of the memory will be remapped to other devices, so you'll never see the full 4GB, only 3.75GB or less.
