You seem to have missed my point completely. The purpose of my posting was to refute the categorical statement made by another poster that "More than 4 GB of RAM is of absolutely no use for running a 32-bit application, whether it be on a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system."
Of course it is true that one of the most basic functions of an OS is memory management. I said nothing that disagrees with that. -Fred Ridder > From: david.da...@invensys.com > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 04:29:32 -0500 > Subject: RE: Windows 7 + FrameMaker 11 = BOOM! > > Fred, one of the most basic functions of an operating system is to be able to > manage memory (without crashing!) :) > Simply because applications might all want more memory on the go at one time > than is physically available, should not mean that anything crashes!
