Yeah, tell me about it. Even relatively recent Intel chipsets (e.g. 
X38/X48) only supported up to 8GB of RAM. Slightly earlier chipsets for 
the Core2 only supported up to 4GB, of which you only usually got 3.5GB 
(I have such a machine here). So much for the 64-bitness bringing the 
benefits of lots of RAM...
