It is a myth that Windows 32-bit operating systems cannot use more that 4 gigs of memory.

Windows server software, running with 32-bits, broke the 4 gigs of RAM address space a long time ago. Microsoft kept these innovations for their business customers willing to pay top dollar for the OS and server hardware. It is expensive but there are servers out there that will run 32 cores, and enough memory to make it worth while to have 32 cores. I guess that Poser should run as well on one of these as it does under any other windows OS.

Be careful about getting a mother board designed to run server OSes. It might not fit into a standard case. These mother boards need a lot of power.

Apparently, SM believes that multiple cores will be the near future of computer evolution, not 64-bit OSes and more memory.
