Integrated video use memory that OS can't see?

[Thump553]

I got a new computer with 32 bit Vista Premium as the operating system. It has integrated video (Nvidia). If I put 4 gigs of memory in it, will the video use the memory the OS can't see or will they share the same 3.3 GB portion that the OS can address?

The video will use only what the system can see. The system can't allocate the memory if it doesn't see it. The card relies on the drivers to allocate the memory it uses and the drivers function inside Vista. So if Vista doesn't see it then it might as well not even be there.
