I think i already know the answer to this, hoping to get told other wise. Can a guest OS access memory outside of what the host OS is limited to? Example: Windows Server 2003 Standard recognizes 4gig of RAM max, i have 6gig in the server, can the guests access that extra 2gig? Im sure the answer is no but i cant find any docs stating it.

Thanks,

I would say NO, simply because of that fact, Windows places that limit on itself.
