The 3Gb switch is often used to fix memory problems in 32bit windows environments (increases the program memory allocation).

Enable the 3GB switch on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit)

• Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.

• At the command prompt, enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072"

• Restart the computer.

Disable the 3GB switch on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit)

• At the command prompt, enter "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa"

• Restart the computer.

I have tested this on Windows7 and it worked fine.
