Molotov

I vaguely recall having rambled on a bit about this sort of thing in the past (32bit systems should be able to access 4GB of RAM, but can't due to push video cards using their address space), but here's an interesting development:

I've got the software on my "to do" list for checkin' out.

Granted, if you have 3GB of RAM, it's unlikely that one extra gig is going to be life changing, but it is annoying not having access to a gig you paid for, just because the people in the industry are were still are short sighted.

Actually, I'll have to check, cos I think mine is using all 4 gig on XP 32bit.

I could be horribly horribly wrong however.

Ohh and RAM is freaking cheap atm, got 16gb off IBM the other day (4x4gb), obviously ECC Registered etc for like $650. Was impressed that ECC costs had dropped, not to mention that IBM wasn't completely ripping us off as per usual!

I would be literally astounded if this were the case.
