: This 2gb limit is kinda scary

  This is quite curious because, AFAIK, the hardware limit in intel processors
(and clones) is currently at 64 GB (of course you can only address 4 GB at
a time because pointers are 32 bits long, but the whole 64 GB memory can be
used with some hardware paging mechanism).

  On the other hand, we should not be so harsh about Windows in this specific
case. I have no idea what is the memory limit in Linux, but I wouldn't be
very surprise if it was 4 GB as well... If someone knows better, it would be
interesting to know.
