-> This memory space is usually further divided into kernel and user -> specific -> areas. Linux kernel 2.6 does a default split of 3GB user and 1GB kernel -> space, -> some distributors (SuSE, RedHat, ...) have back ported this to their 2.4 -> kernels. By default older Linux versions split into 2GB for each kernel -> and user space. Windows has a 2/2GB split by default, too, but a 3GB user -> space per process can be requested using a special boot parameter -> This is true to a point. In the boot.ini you would need to use the /3GB boot switch. But this will do you no good unless the program has been compiled with the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE bit set in their image header.
