Michael, I did a quick google for available memory per process win32 on win64
http://www.google.de/search?q=available+memory+per+process+win32+on+win64&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a and my first hit is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778%28VS.85%29.aspx there I read: User-mode virtual address space for each 32-bit process limit in 32-bit windows: 2 GB Up to 3 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE and 4GT limit in 64-bit windows: 2 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE cleared (default) 4 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE set so, I guess your IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE ist set on your 64bit machine, which explains the 4Gig.
