What are the system requirements to be able to make best use of this please

Sorry if this is a 'thicko' question

And now the idiot's question ...

I know WinXP (32bit) will not see 4GB or more of RAM, even if I have them installed, but ... using this patch wil the game benefit from those 4GB or more??? Or is it still limited to what Windows XP can see & use???

@Hitman

The original 4gb patch only addressed 64 bit systems. Not sure about privateer's version. It not so much makes the OS see all your installed ram, rather it makes the .exe use more than it normally would (can't remember how much that is sorry), hope this answers your question.

EDIT: I actually found some quite useful info about this and the 3 GB patch some time back, read my post here;

Thanks Fubar, that clarifies things

The 4 Gig versions I did addresses the
'Can We host it at SubSim'
issue.
Since they target the SH3.exe files?
I'd say We are safe.
The way it's done is so old school that who could complain?
The only reason I didn't do this before is that I never had more then 2 Gig!
I am known as one to not explain things to a great extent.
So Thanks to Fubar2Niner for helping you Guys out.
