Mike, Phar Lap provides a true 32-bit operating environment which means 2 raised to the 32nd power or 4 gigabytes of directly addressable memory. With the virtual memory manager, the "memory" can be either RAM or hard disk. Although with the very archaic bus design on the PC the paging to disk is mostly worthless. On true 32-bit hardware virtual memory paging to the disk is fast enough to be usable. <John E. insert your plug here> Your vendor has most likely been confused by the MicroSoft hype as MicroSoft has still refused to recognize that true computing requires 32-bits or more.
