Elmer, I still recall myself programming 16 bit segment registers. I was not pretty. So your claim that 32 bit cpu supports 36 address lines is theoretically correct, but practically wrong.

Moreover, there is a big performance penalty. Big.

So let just to keep discussion realistic assume that 32 Windows supports 2 Gig for apps and 32 bit Linux approximately 3 Gig.
