    It's possible to utilize 4GB, Bo with a 32-bit OS. I'm getting ready to head to a Texas Hold'em tournament. I don't have time to explain, but here is a link to a site explaining how to enable PAE and DEP mode:

    That looks like a bit of a pissabout, like, I think it'd be easier to just get a 64bit OS.

    Point of fact 32bit recognizes 3.5GB Some will argue that 64 has no problems at all but I have found to still have some driver issues with older hardware, and an all around inexplicable buggyness from time to time

    Wrong, nub.

    /3GB, /PAE and AWE have only been known since, like, forever though, so I can see how it might be news to you.

    Also WRONG. The hard limit is generally 4GB, I reckon. I've also seen people claim some 32bit operating systems can use 64GB, but that sounds like hokus pokes or something else.
