I was sure that I recalled something mentioned before on this list about applications having issues when running with wine if the system had more than 4GB installed. Can't seem to find the post now to determine what it said and whether it was just a specific app that had the issue or a more general issue. Anyone running with 4GB or more RAM installed and experience any issues? -- Darragh "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool."

I newer experienced problem on my PC with 4 GB of RAM, I used 32-bit PAE-enabled kernel (so it could map up to 64 GB of ram) - no problems with wine or anything else. P.S It is funny that in order to use 4GB of memory, or more - you must have 64-bit Windos, event thou on Linux, you can easily use up to 64GB of RAM on 32 bit kernel ;]

Those versions were quite expensive, though.> use up to 64GB of RAM on 32 bit kernel ;]

These are license restrictions. See here http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/license/memory.htmSay what you want, but there being no technical restrictions just makes the whole deal weirder. And more obvious they'd really like people to just switch to a newer version of Windows, of course.
