Thanks for your feedback..
So if i set my VM to 8 GB, each proccess would use a max of 3 GB (even with PAE installed and selected on boot)?
PAE allows a 32 bits host to see more than 4GB of ram. but each process is still limited to ~3gb. To dive a bit more into technical details, PAE is like EMS in DOS time. In EMS, you saw the whole ram, but couldn't allocate more than 64KB per process. With PAE, the same, with a limit of 4GB-OS stuff per process, so it gives something like 3GB. Hope I'm clear.
