The 3.3GB is about as good as you're going to get (regardless of OS) due to hardware limitations in the BIOS and various Intel chipsets. Common values range from 3 to 3.5GB. The number of internal Microsoft conversations on this topic are too numerous to count. Bottom line - talk to Intel.
Vista does indeed lock the hell out of the file system. I feel your pain.
Your app requires admin privileges? Sucks to be you. Get an app that is written properly. As a general matter of best practice random software written by a 16-year old in Bulgaria probably shouldn't be allowed admin access. Commercial software written with the same skill level deserves equal respect (yeah, including some of ours).

Subject: RE: Dynamips on Vista
Hi guys,
I want to thank every one suggestions to fix my problem. The number one fix
was to get rid of Vista. I agree with it completely but my lame OEM (HP)
doesn't have any XP drivers for my system, or Vista 64 bit for that matter.
I am running Dynamips on Vista 32 bit with a Core 2 duo. The PC is an HP
media center. Out of the box it uses 1.2 GB of ram. So I maxed out the PC
at 4 GB RAM. Now all you can really use is 3.3 GB of ram due to the 32 bit
OS. So your last GB will be really expensive. So yes I am using a serious
amount of Ram to do all of this but I think it is worth it.
To fix my problem I went to the dynamips directory and added myself with
full control. I would have done that to begin with but the user was a
member of administrators. So I guess admins have less power than before.
And oh my heck, trying to copy files is so much harder and takes longer than
before. I didn't understand the new Apple ads with the security guy until
now.

Dynamips was not designed for Vista! And, Vista alone needs 2000GB of RAM to
run on. Therefore nothing of the RAM left for Dynamips or the user work
on!! In conclusion, man get rid of vista and put anything else that's better
for your heart! ;-)
Best Regards,
Digital
