Not a bug. A Windows "limitation". While the OS can certainly access 4GB of RAM...it splits that in half....2048 for apps and 2048 for the OS. There are "switches" and tweaks you can use to change this behavior slightly within the 32bit Windows realm..

WinXP 64 allows a much larger address space but Acid would have to be reworked in such a way to fully support the 64 bit address space.
