Re: [H] More than 4GB of ram and VM question

[Winterlight]

This is not how I understand it to work, not that there seems to be 
any kind of consensuses on this, but I read in Maximum PC that 32 bit 
supports 4GB of RAM addressing. You start out with 4GB of RAM and 
then windows starts knocking off for addresses already used by your 
video card, your network card, whatever. This is why some people show 
3.2GB some, just 3GB. To add to the confusion, Maximum PC has 
reported that MS has stated that windows can actually use some of 
that undressed RAM for things such as drivers.

Hello Brian,
32-bit is really locked to 3GB of RAM, it's just Windows is reporting the
3.6GB of RAM.
