My xp pro machine reports I have 3.5 gigs of memory and basicly while running I have 2.7 gigs free. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rick Harmon Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2007 3:30 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Vista and memory not on 32 bit systems this is a hardware limitation and the only way to get past it is going to a 64 bit os. 32 bits only can handle a max of 4 gigs of addressing.

Is this true? Thanks. Robbie robbie.miller@xxxxxxxxxxx
