[Opensim-users] Question about OpenSim.32BitLaunch (Any Version)

[Chris]

I'm a bit confused now I'll admit. According to this page 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778%28VS.85%29.aspx The 
user mode virtual address space for each 64 bit process with 
IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag set on a x64 based system should be 
upwards of 8 TB (Even if Windows 7 x64 Ultimate limits max to192 GB of 
ram... There's no way I'll be able to stuff that much in my motherboard =) )

Does this mean that OpenSim.32BitLaunch does not have the large address 
flag set / is truly a 32-Bit process?

Thanks for all the quick responses =)
