Re: 3 Vista vs XP? 2 GB Limit; VM Performance; and Multiple Remote Logins

Yes the limitation is because of 32 bit addressing. You can use the /3GB
switch but this may actually cause the computer to run slower with most
programs. In Vista you set this with BCEdit and the "increaseuserva"
parameter. It sounds like you need a 64 bit OS. I think the answer on
concurrent sessions is no but I'm not 100% sure.
