Note on the RAM: Windows Vista SP1 for the 32-bit version just lists the total RAM you have, it still won't use all of it.

ulyy1, not to fret, if the CodeGazer/VistaGlazz folks don't issue a patch anytime soon, someone else will.

If you ever download 3rd party themes from sites like DeviantArt, many will include patched files.

I hope they issue that patch soon, Yeah i know it's only using 3.2 GB but showing 4 GB sure looks good to me. DevianArt is one of my favorite sites.

Should I be worried that I havent gotten an update for SP1?
I have home basic and my Windows Update is set to not to install w/o my permission.
When I look at the installed updates there is no SP1 for Vista.
Just curious if I should go download it somewhere or just wait it out.
Thanks
If I should download where do I go for a legit download?

No, you don't need to be worried.
If the update isn't displayed it means you need to update some drivers and/or install some required updates before you can install SP1.
Once you do that SP1 will be displayed in Windows Update.

@COMPIDIOT... You need not worry about it.. be happy that MS has taken proactive step to give windows update when it is likely to cause some issue in your computer.. check this article from MS.
