Wrong im afraid. This is covered almost weekly at the moment
Hi Agent, From what i understand (and i may be wrong as there's a lot of confusion on the subject - maybe time for a sticky he he !!?), 32 bit os's can only deal with 4gb max memory in there registers so if you have 512mb on your graphics card this is part of the 4gb total ?
I recently built a twin Opty server for a guy editing video which had 4gb RAM and XP 32 bit would only recognise 3gb (which makes a nonsense of what i said before as the Quadro card was only 512mb RAM !) and so we put 64 bit on and it recognised the 4gb with no problems. For educations sake could you point me in the right direction if you know of a good factual thread or article on the subject ? Thanks.

Hark the children of the Resolution !!
