Don't know about Windows, but Linux kernel compiled for ia32 can use more than 4GB, assuming you compiled it with the appropriate config options. That doesn't mean it's the recommended way to use such a machine, just that you don't *need* a 64bit OS to make use of more than 4GB. Stefan
Do some Googling for 'windows 32-bit 64-bit memory limitation'. You'll find tons of discussions about the issue. I don't know technically whether it is possible to overcome that issue or not, but it is generally accepted that you need 64-bit Windows to use over 4GB of RAM.
