Agreed. There is a way to tell the box to ignore memory above a certain 
threshold. It is probably intended to allow developers to test if code 
will run on the lower spec machines they give their customers.

I've seen it used to 'set expectations' when a partial system is 
delivered earlier. You don't want the users getting used to decent 
performance on their shiny new PC and then being disappointed when you 
give them the whole VB app. When you install the second phase of the 
project, you whip the cover from over the memory you kept hidden and 
they think the coder is a genius. Sad but true.
