I was under the impression that both XP 32bit and Vista 32 bit could only access up to 3 gb of ram + or -???
See my previous post in this same thread :
Vista SP1 RAM problem !!
Using Binary Math :
2^32 = 4294967296
4294967296 / 1024 = 4194304
4194304 / 1024 = 4096
4096 / 1024 = 4
32-Bit is thus maxed out at 4GB by it's very nature. The 3GB "limit" is imposed as detailed in my previous post, and too many people often blame the OS, when in fact it is a hardware issue that occurs long before the OS is even loaded. And even then, a 32-Bit program is limited to a max of 2GB only, which is a limitation imposed by the OS, although some seriously specialist programs can request a max available memory of 3GB.
