WindowsXP 64bit and RAM

Im testing Different Software on a WindowsXP 64 bit with 8 GB RAM to see the hopefully better performance.
But TVPaint still onsy sees 2048 MB Phisical Memory?
Shouldn´t it be able to use 4 GB RAM as it is a 32 bit software.
Am I doing something wrong or how??

TVPaint is a 32bits application, It cannot see more than 4GB.
On Windows the memory cache ( only the cache ) is limited to 2GB but TVPaint can use all the memory than window can provide to an 32 bits app ( up to 3.5GB ).

It's the memory available for the cache only, not the memory available for the application. If you wand, I can show all the available memory.
Remember, TVPA is a 32 bits application and cannot address more than 2^32 bytes of memory.
