As long as OS is 64 bits, no problem.

Note that Windows 32 bits can manage at best 3.5GB of memory, and that 
applications are allowed to have at most 2GB of private memory, IIRC.
(hence probably the comment about linux being better... for 32 bits, but 
it 's only a small improvement, as it is 3GB instead of 2GB)
