[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1077603, member: 40142"] With 8 gig OSX will be able to use all 8 gig, even when running its kernal in 32 bit mode. Of course Windows Vista 32 bit will still see and report all 8 gig in bootcamp, but shockingly only be able to use about 3.5 gig at most foe Windows and all Windows apps. So OSX will use the lot, Windows will know all 8 gig is there but only use less than half of it. Its explained better here.
