Fred, one of the most basic functions of an operating system is to be able to
manage memory (without crashing!) :)
Simply because applications might all want more memory on the go at one time
than is physically available, should not mean that anything crashes! It gets
paged in and out. Windows 7, indeed, has more robust sandboxing of memory
usage between apps than Windows XP.
The idea that "you gotta have 8GB of RAM otherwise Frame will crash" is a bit
sweeping!

But the application is not the only thing using memory. Even if a 32-bit
application can only address 4 GB, any additional installed memory can still be
used by the OS and by other processes if a 64-bit OS is being used. Having more
than 4 GB means that a 32-bit application will have a lot less contention for
memory resources even if it can only access 1/2 or 1/3 of the total memory
available to the OS.
