From what I've seen, it's a 32 bit .exe. That means that it's not going to be able to use as much RAM as a 64 bit. exe. Most of your 12GB will be 'wasted' as far as the game is concerned. Of course it does leave more RAM available for other things like TS, TrackIR, etc.

Why they went with a 32 bit .exe simple amazes me, especially when you consider that both of their recommended MINIMUM spec CPUs are 64 bit processors.. 64 bit processors have been mainstream for so long that it's almost criminal that they didn't go with 64 bit exclusively.

I guess that would have left out those dinosaurs that are still running XP, but that POS OS needs to die anyway.
