If I go to Windows 7 64 bit and a larger amount of memory, Can Qimage take advantage of that? Not being a native 64 bit application I would think there are limits.
Thank you,

As others have said, QImage isn't a 64 bit application so it can't use the much larger 64 bit address space.
However, there is some benefit to QImage on a 64 bit system.
A 32 bit system loses memory addressing to things such as some hardware devices. A 64 bit system doesn't have that problem.
In QImage under Help, hold down the shift key and click Analyze Current Settings. It will show the available memory as 2000MB when running a 64 bit system, but something less than that with a 32 bit system.
My 32 bit XP gives 1072MB. My laptop running 64 bit Vista gives 2000MB, nearly twice the available memory I get with XP.
