Any Windows XP, Vista, Win7, etc 32-bit system can do that, PAE or
not. That's what the virtual memory system is all about. Each process
- and there are dozens running at any time - thinks it has a 4GB space
all to itself. The VM system swaps things in and out to keep everybody
happy. Same thing in 64-bit systems, but the size of the space that a
64-bit process thinks it has is 8 terabytes. The amount of physical
RAM in the system has nothing to do with this.
