Scott - You need NT Enterprise edition to access the extra memory. Are you referring to the 3 gig dataspace option in NTSE? Not the same thing at all - this is a way of changing the kernel/app allocation at the OS level for existing 32 bit address space machines and works with anything which can address 4 gig. NTSE provides very limited support for VLM which was mostly in support of Alpha, as was the Oracle VLM code. As far as I know there is no IA32 VLM support in NTSE and will be none before NT5, but I am as always willing to be educated... Xeon especially with the 450 chipset comes close to being generally usable VLM although internal 36 bit support rather than segmentation would be a huge step forward technically. But an intermediate architecture would probably not be justified as a product if Merced keeps its current schedule.
