Not sure, never worked with 64-bit Windows yet.  It's documented on
Metalink but I don't have the note handy right now.  I'm not familiar
with hugemem - never worked on Linux (I work mostly on AIX & HPUX), but
basically the /3G flag just tells Windows to make 3GB of RAM available
for all applications/users running on the machine, instead of the
default behavior of hogging 2GB for the OS and only giving 2GB to the
users & apps.  I think you might get some hits if you search for 4GT as
I've seen it referred to by that name before (Short for "4GB Tuning", I
think).
 
Regards,
Brandon

Does this hold true for 64-bit Windows as well?
