Im not so sure, when games & software start coming with 4GB RAM as recomended requirements the 32-bit OS is done.. maybe in less than two years? SHV is 2GB recommended so we can go figure...
Basically any 32 bit OS can handle 4GB memory max INCLUDING graphics.
So if you had a 2GB graphics card, the OS will detect no more than 2GB of your System RAM.
Because of this limitation, along with DirectX9 becomeing increasingly long in the tooth, I think we could see XP get ditched sooner.
Not sure what will happen to 32bit Vista and Win7 users as they are effected by the 4GB limit too.
