Actually think its closer to 3.2 gigs. I actually thought you need to add up your graphics card memory to this pool but seemingly you need to SUBTRACT your graphics card memory from the theocritically 4GIG.

So if you have a 1gig graphics card then your system ram on a 32bit system is somewhere around 3Gigs.

Here is a definition I found: 4GB minus the address space required by addin cards and other hardware equals the MAXIMUM addressable RAM.

So... even if a 32 bit application was able to adress 4.2 gigs worth of ram... that ram would have to be adressable. And we all know that graphics cards these days take heaps of addressable space. 1gigs worth is not that uncommon anymore.

Are you certain about this? Please post source/link if you please.
