Can not allocate more than 1.5GB RAM to Guest!

[evel]

Host: Windows XP SP3
VB Version: 3.0.6
--------------------
Guests: Linux (CentOS5.3, Ubuntu 9.04)

Question: I have 4GB installed on XP (host) with 3.49GB appearing under System Properties>General (no idea where the rest went...). However, when creating a new Guest VM, VB does not allow more than 1500MB base memory to be allocated. The Base Memory Size sliding bar has a range of 4MB to 1500MB, and it does not accept anything higher to be typed in either.

On this forum I have seen posts that refer to larger base memory being allocated, so I am assuming it is not an inherent VB restriction. Also, was not able to find any reference or setting in the VB manual regarding this situation.

Thanks,

Was in the changelog of 3.0.6 and discussed in the discussion thread. It was even explained in the beta forum.
