    Those of you with Vista 32bit wanting to get 4GB of RAM will find this usefull

    You can tweak Vista's core to add another 4-bits of addressing capability, but you must have a 64-bit capable processor (pretty much any processor made within the past two years like Intel's Core 2 Duo or AMD's Athlon 64). Even though the math works out to address way more than 4GB (236 = 68,719,476,736), the operating system still has a cap (Windows Server can address anywhere from 8GB to 128GB depending on the flavor).

    Expect a performance hit from this. Linux has had this facility for some time (years), but it does impact addressing times.
