That means for applications, they can commit less than 2 GB virtual memory, or if you set the /3GB switch in the boot.ini less than 3GB memory, because they share their space with the kernel. Most apps will be happy with that. You see in the task manager in the row "virtual memory" how many bytes got mapped into the address space. The row "physical memory" or "working set" (not sure about the row name) shows you Windows idea of the amount of physical memory actually used by the process. In other words: The system can distribute the whole physical memory, but no process can have more than this 2GB/3GB directly usable. If that gets a problem, you must use the 64 bit version, either EMT64 or IA64 (Itanium) architecture. -jolt
