Is this even true anymore? I thought some chips (Xeons?) could magically hack around this. I know it makes no sense that a 32bit machine could address more then 2^32=4GB of ram, but apparently they had special instructions or memory windows or something. I think they were still limited to 4GB per process or something. - Rob .
