Chambers, Ger:

Thanks for that information. I thought until now, the operating system 
handles the RAM, and the programs just forward their RAM requests to Windows 
which would give them, what they need.

I don't knew that programs self address the RAM.

Bad to hear that software developers don't want to work with higher RAM 
addresses. Thought, if RAM is available, the programs could reach it 
dynamically, independent from intented borderlines (2 GB).

Thanks for the information, greetings,

Sven
