Second on the virtual, but as for performance issues, it should not be
an issue unless the XP kernel's pager is completely broken. PAE, OTOH,
will have an address overhead which will make it perform less well than
just using native 64-bit code.
It might be that Visual Studio compiled code needs to be explicitly
compiled to understand this different split (3/1 vs. 2/2) since the 2/2
split can use a signed integer, while the 3/1 split needs unsigned
integers and different syscall addresses. I think Supreme Commander, at
least, requires a downloaded different file to run in 3/1 mode on a 4gb
of RAM machine.
