I'd be grateful if someone could explain what the following means:

"Max Memory Comment -In the case of 4GB, a portion of the system memory over
3GB might not be available to the 32bit operating system"

Found among the specs of a Sony Vaio AW Series.

Many thanks in advance.
M.

Yes this is true of 32-bit Windows and 64-bit Windows can see it all.
Don't feel bad, my Linux Xandros can't see anything more than 1GB. :-(
