Do you understand binary numbers, Tony? A 32-bit binary number cannot go beyond 4,294,967,296 (4 gigabytes, 4*1024*1024*1024), so a 32-bit system cannot address more than 4 GB.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- The 4gb memory limit is just a Windows licensing issue though. Unless Mac OS also has such licensing issues, this shouldn't be as big an advantage.
