I question the OS... why not go Vista 64 bit? With 1GB mem already going to your vid , windows allocating even more... you won't see much over 2GB ram... the other two aren't going to be utilised. Seem out of place with the rest of the system too.

I would think either go with Vista 64 or drop to 2GB ram. I wouldn't want to run Vista on 2GB with current games tho.
