Que? I thought Steve said Windows 32bit was limited to 2 Gigs?
He may have been talking about the game itself, I don't know.

Which is why I said it's important not to confuse memory limitations imposed by the OS and/or amount of RAM on board, with the limitations imposed by an unpatched SH3.exe file.

The game is limited to using 2 gigs, regardless of the OS and amount of RAM available, unless you apply the 4GB patch to it.

Windows 32-bit is limited to using 4 gigs overall, so patching the game to use 4 gigs even with 4 gigs on board is of limited value as there will never be a full 4 gigs available for it. It may still be of some value if you have enough RAM to give the game more than 2 gigs to play with.
