Good luck with trying to use 4GB of memory (no matter if physical or 
not) on a (32bit) Windows system.  In theory a 32bit OS can also handle 
more than 4GB of memory so the limit would be indeed the application but 
in reality most Windows versions limit applications to 2GB, some server 
variants allow 3GB IIRC.
