[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 366843, member: 13090"] The particulars of this limitation are more complicated than a lot of people realize but, generally speaking, 32-bit operating systems running an x86 processor can't access more than 4GB of system RAM; the particulars I mention have to do with things like video RAM, the motherboard and how it's made, and the I/O functions of the whole system. In short, it's complicated. That being said, and while there are exceptions, you are correct in that 32-bit operating systems/x86 processors really can't access more than 4GB of system RAM.
