Vista 32 will display however much RAM you have installed in your system, even if it's more than 4GB. However, it can only use the first 3.x GB of it (where x depends on a few factors). How you got 7GB installed, I don't know. 3x 2GB and 1x 1GB?
That's the old way of thinking (matched pairs, no if, ands or buts) The new hotness is Prime numbers. 2, 3, 7 :-P

As far as displaying and using, yeah, 32 operating systems can only effectively utilize 4gb total ram (that's total including you video bus), the new SP with Vista allows it to 'sorta' use the rest. It's not completely perfect, and doesn't compare to a 64 bit OS
