32 bit OS's cannot see a full 4 gigs, it's one of their design limitations, 4 gigs is the most they can address and some of those addresses have to be reserved for core windows functions like video memory mapping
64 bit OS's can address much more than the chipsets can support or motherboards can physically hold This post has been edited by DaChew: May 4 2008, 11:08 AM -------------------- |
