I have an always-on system running XP, a bevy of background security utilities [of which SUNBELT SOFTWARE's CounterSpy takes up a whopping 425MB], EUDORA open with 13,000+ e-mails in the inbox, FIREFOX open, and WORD and EXCEL -- that's it. This ensemble starts out around 800MB of memory -- doing nothing, and simply sitting there for a week, it creeps up to 1.07GB -- which means with leaks at that rate, a reboot will be required every 5 weeks or so. The less rebooting the better in my opinion -- so that is another reason why hardware companies should be emphasizing 64-bit driver development -- which is what is holding up 64-bitness, as I understand it.

The other 2GB of it's total addressable space of 4GB is dedicated to system processes. There is a simple INIT switch (/3gb) that will allow you to shift this up to 3GB for users and 1GB for system. Your video RAM also eats into this 4GB total....... )c8 Chris is sort of correct on this – 32 bit Windows by default can only use 2GB of RAM for user processes.
