I wasn't implying or assuming anything, I was genuinely asking... I'm more familiar with windows, than other OSes, but iirc, windows apps can only get 4GB per process. (Maybe that was just 32bit windows apps).

Just 32bit apps. 64bit apps can go much higher.

I was incorrect... Then again, I've never needed to address more than a couple gb of ram.
