I know Zombie, but 64 bit operating system is still not endless memory capacity.

Here's a link: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportfor ... d.id=28508

More technically...

A 32-bit Operating system can only represent memory locations as a maximum, 32-bit number. The largest number 32-bits can represent is 4,294,967,296. Since computer address memory in byte size chunks, a 32-bit OS can have addresses for 4,294,967,296 difference memory locations each a byte in size... or 4,294,967,296 bytes which is equal to 4GB.

However, system RAM isn't the only memory that must be addressed. The most common second source of memory that must be addressed is video card RAM. RAM on the video card has to have an address just like the system RAM. Windows allocates addresses to this memory (the video card RAM) first. So, if you have a 512MB RAM video card, 536,870,912 of the 4,294,967,296 addresses are used leaving 375,8096,384 addresses or 3.5GB. If, however, you have a high end video card with 768MB of RAM, the video card needs more addresses and thus fewer addresses (about 3.25) for the 'system RAM.' Worse yet, if you have an SLI setup with two 768MB video cards (for a total of 1.5GB) that leave a mere 2.5GB worth of addresses for system RAM.

Hope this helps.
