Yes it was a Dell issue. The M65 I had purchased with 4GB and 64bit Vista installed experienced the same 3.25GB limit because of a 32 bit chipset.

"The memory issue is indeed related to the HARDWARE. Specifically, it’s due to the Intel 945 chipset used in Dell’s laptops and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the operating system"

Man Swallows USB Flash Drive Evidence 199

SlideRuleGuy writes "In a bold and bizarre attempt to destroy evidence seized during a federal raid, a New York City man grabbed a flash drive and swallowed the data storage device while in the custody of Secret Service agents. Records show Florin Necula ingested the Kingston flash drive shortly after his January 21 arrest outside a bank in Queens. A Kingston executive said it was unclear if stomach acid could damage one of their drives. 'As you might imagine, we have no actual experience with someone swallowing a USB.' I imagine that would be rather painful. But did he follow his mother's advice and chew thoroughly, first? Apparently not, as the drive was surgically recovered."

Agreed. Don't bankrupt the tax payers because PA residents pay school taxes by district. Instead, flog them publicly and lock them up for something appropriate, like say 1 year for each laptop given out. I mean come on. What people could come to the conclusion that what they have done was a Good Idea(tm) ? Total douchebaggery.

Working with Vware a lot ... ctrl-alt-ins is the command to send ctl-alt-del to the guest. I've hit backspace instead of ins dozens of times by mistake with these beefy fat fingers of mine. I eventually remapped the Gnome keyboard preferences to remove the user-switch function of ctrl-alt-del to null so that I could go back to using that instead of ctrl-alt-ins to log into guest Windows hosts.
