The 32 bit Windows versions have always limited people to addressing 4gb of memory. Not so with e.g. 32 bit Windows Server 2008, which I think comes with as much as like 80gb ram.
In fact, I asked about this on the list a while back. "How can I ensure that PAE is turned on so I know my WinXP is using all 6gb of my ram". It was only much later I discovered the consumer versions of Windows don't include PAE, and so are limited to 4gb ram. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 5:28 PM, Rev.
