Reminds me of my last XP machine, supposedly, XP could handle up to 4GB
of ram, but when I installed 4GB in my machine, XP only saw 3.5GB. No
idea why, I never did find out what the technical reason was, but it was
a commonly known problem, since almost everywhere I tried to get the ram
from for the pc insisted XP wouldn't see more than 3.5GB. Kind of odd I
thought, but it accomplished what I needed, so I was ok with it. I
still have that machine around here somewhere, though I've not turned it
on in a couple years. :)

At that point, the system wants to create a page file that is larger (by

FAT has a limit of 4GB.
it's DOS that limits this unless you indicate at DosOpen that you understand
the difference between signed and unsigned (2GB and 4GB) offsets for
file systems. so the limit for NT was 4GB, not 2 GB (or at least
should have been)
