Nope, XP SP3 is for the 32bit version, you need to get XP x64 or Vista x64 if you want to fully use 4GB of RAM.

well Microsoft lies, I saw screenshots of Windows 2008 32bit supporting 4gb of ram.

No they haven't, Vista SP1 32-bit will also report 4Gb if you have it installed but you still can't use it all, it's a limitation of the 32-bit architecture (or something similar, I can't remember right now :p) All MS did was make Vista SP1/Server 2k8 report installed RAM rather then usable RAM I believe. If you want 4Gb+ memory support, upgrading to a 64-bit OS is the only way you'll be able to use it all.

no, it's not. never heard of PAE?

-andy-

A 32-bit application even with PAE switch is on can only address additional 1 GB memory over 2 GB limitation (totaling 3GB) from the virtual address space.

Pls check MS's related docs.

However in reality a 512mb VGA and with some other hardware in the system you can't even address that much memory.

So in reality, if you really would like the utilize your 4GB or over memory, you MUST use a 64-bit application under a 64-bit OS.

PAE is not your friend...

Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) on Tuesday said that due to "high customer demand" for Vista service pack 1, MSDN and TechNet subscribers will have to wait longer than the general public to get their hands on Windows XP service pack 3.

In an email to ChannelWeb, a spokesperson said Microsoft expects to make XP SP3 available for download to TechNet and MSDN subscribers on May 2, three days after it begins distributing XP SP3 via Windows Update and the Download Center.

No. On the MSDN subscriptions blog it says they still plan to release the integrated ISO on the 2nd of May, and Technet usually gets it at the same time as MSDN I think? :) There is a torrent floating around which does appear to be an official integrated ISO!

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
