[quote='Fursphere',index.php?page=Thread&postID=206 557#post206557]You can use the PAE switch to get Vista 32 to address more than 4GB of memory.
The question is if the WoW code supports PAE mode.[/quote]See [url='http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx']here[/url] under "Physical Memory Limits: Windows Vista"
"The following table specifies the limits on physical memory for Windows Vista."
Under all versions of 32bit Vista it says 4GB (minus "starter").
PAE or no PAE, it's a lock put in by MS. Even their 32bit "Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition" can't use more the 4GB even with the /PAE switch. Only 32bit Enterprise and above can when enabled with the /PAE switch.
See the bottom of this link .
"Windows XP SP2 and later | AWE API and 4 GB of physical address space"

However, Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition supports 32 GB of physical RAM and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition supports 64 GB of physical RAM using the PAE feature."
