Why would that be the case for 32 bit windows? The the use of only 32
bit word mappings of internal ran (and file system) then it should be
able to access half the memory space of a 64 bit scheme. That should be
pour math, regardless of the OS. If the PCI bus has physical address
space, it's PCI address space should presumably also be 64 bit and
easier to map in a 64 bit scheme as well.
the whole thing has to be mapped in ram, cpu accessed memory, bus
addressed and file system (extended through DMA).
