I believe it the 3gb switch you set in the boot.ini file you're talking
about Stefan. From what I hear win32 only allows the user to access 2gig of
ram on a per application basis. The switch boosts that to 3...but not more
than that I don't think. Definitly make a backup of your .ini as you can
royally fook your box and have it non booting if done incorrectly.
