Memory question

[hennessy1]

I know that the 64 bit xp and vista can see more then 4gb of memory but on a motherboard if it can only see 8gb does the physical memory itself and the video memory all contribute to the total amount or is that 8gb just for the physical memory?

Vid card memory does not count.
