Have you got 4GB of PHYSICAL memory in your computer? If not, /3GB +
/LARGEADDRESSAWARE would be quite useless (in terms of a performance
increase anyway) and you'd be much better off just running straight off the
disk.

Besides, the way the garbage collector in .NET works, you actually need a
fair amount of extra virtual memory than what you are actually using. So
even with /largeaddressaware, you're probably not going to get very close to
the 3GB limit because of the overhead.

Of course, if you have a 64-bit machine, things are a little different...
