also AFAIK know 32 bit apps have 2GB memory limitation but many software and games now comes with 64 bit executables so if you run such apps on 64 bit windows they will function better.

IIRC, 32 bit apps have a 4 GB limitation.. ( 2^32 bits)

4gb ram is the maximum addressable ram by the 32 bit os.IT doesn't mean a 32 bit app can utilize full 4gb ram. A 32 bit app can utilize maximum of 2gb/3gb afaik in 32 bit os and 4gb ram in 64 bit os as 32 bit os use ram to adjust its kernel in the address space. since there is no kernel present in address space for 64 bit, 32 bit app can utilize maximum of 4gb. I think so

32 bit app can utilize 1.75gb/2gb ram on 32 bit and 64 bit os but on 64 bit os you can patch a 32 bit app to use upto 4gb ram using a 3rd party tool.

I think you are talking about G41M-Combo ;) anyway, the board has different revisions and different audio chip used for eg rev1.3 and 1.4 has VIA VT1708S codec audio chip and rev. 2.0 has Realtek ALC887 chip - so most probabaly you have either 1.3/1.4 version and need to install audio drivers from VIA.

This OS has really pissed me off. Many of the GFWL games won't run but now I have finally found the turnaround for them. Just download the latest GFWL and then run the game executable as Administrator and game should run fine. Tried on many games and it worked on all games so far. :)
