Upgrading NPM on a 32 bit OS

Hello,

we have this (simplified) situation:

- 2 Windows 2003 Enterprise Ed. SP2 32 bit, running NPM 9.1 SLX and an additional polling engine with 3 GB RAM and a 3 GHz CPU. Hardware supports 64 bit OS.

- a cluster of 2 Windows 2003 Enterprise Ed. SP 2 32 bit, running SQL Server 2005 (without Service Pack) with 3 GB RAM and a 3 GHz CPU. Hardware supports 64 bit OS.

We want upgrade to the last version of NPM.

My first concern is that NPM SLX requires 4 GB of RAM, when 32 bit operating systems seems have problems with more than 3 GB, then just upgrading memory could be useless (I think, but I'm not sure).

What could be a good strategy to accomplish our objective?

We have a spare system that can be used to test a solution without touching production servers.

Thanks.
