The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[hennyo]

I think we'll agree on this finally since we know this happens in reality.

The question is, what happens if you have 4GB VRAM on your graphics? The system won't boot as I assumed?

Well, that is really simple, the issue only arises with addressed memory, not available memory. The same way you can stick 8 GB of ram into a computer running 32bit windows, it doesn't have an issue booting or anything like that, but it still can't address more memory than it is capable of.

Edit: I should note I am referring to Windows Xp, and not Server editions of Windows which have no trouble addressing much more than 4GB.
