Second thing, the program itself is 32bit too. It can no way see 4 GB RAM and another GB's VRAM. We all know SW under 32bit OS could use up to 3 GB's and now you say it can use even 8 GB's? Or 16 GB's??
The 4GB Ram is possible on a 64bit version of windows running a 32bit program with special tags. Also the 8GB is possible on both 32bit and 64bit server enterprise edition, tho the 32bit 8GB address comes with significant speed penalties. The 16GB 32bit program access is possible but ONLY on 64bit datacenter editions of windows, which cost what someone well paid makes in a year, maybe even more.
