> The reason I need so much RAM is that I'm working in image processing with (unfortunately) 512 by 512 by 150 arrays that are doubles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm working with arrays of similar dimensions which are single floats and I still have problems in 32 bit windows.

64-bit windows has helped a lot. 

I'm still curious, though, what the 3Gb switch can do for me on my 32-bit machine. Does it matter that I only have 2GB RAM assuming I'm willing to put up with the swapping?
