,----[ Quote ]
| As we saw in part 1 of this series, large applications and games under
| Windows are getting incredibly close to hitting the 2GB barrier, the amount
| of virtual address space a traditional Win32 (32-bit) application can access.
| Once applications begin to hit these barriers, many of them will start acting
| up and/or crashing in unpredictable ways which makes resolving the problem
| even harder.

| Microsoft's on-the-box minimum RAM requirement "really isn't
| realistic," according to David Short, an IBM consultant who works
| in its company's Global Services Divison. He says users should
| consider 4GB of RAM if they really want optimum Vista performance.
| With 512MB of RAM, Vista will deliver performance that's
| "sub-XP," he warned.
