Hello Ada,
My understand is that the maximum amoung of memory that you will be
able to access on a Windows OS running on a 32bits plataform will be
2Gb (regardless of the amoung of ram that you have installed in your
hardware).
In order to overcome this problem you would have to move to a 64bits
architecture (this involves changing the hardware + os). There has
been lots of exchange on this subject on the list.
Cheers,
Joao Pedro
