Default Will 4 GB patch work for me ?

Today I bought my first laptop, however I am worried about the "problem" in RAM usage. If you not lazy enough to check this link: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad...le/td-p/839895 it explains the whole thing. I have a bad feeling I might have troubles in using 4GB patch now

Use it, use it, use it!!!!

The patch addresses the .exe file so it uses more ram, this has been covered shipmate. Look here ;

I understand H.sie patch will use more memory for the .exe. All I wonder about is will it actually use 4 GB or just 3.6 that my laptop shows as usable ?

Ah, a 32-bit OS I'm guessing, then I think it'll only use what Windows sees, 3.something. It'll still help though as the big standard usage is something like 1.5 or 2 Gig.
