The existing code should work fine, and yours will return 0 for a 4Gb
box... It sounds like the problem is in GlobalMemoryStatusEx.

IIRC this API has a quirk w.r.t large memory handling. I remember doing
something to this code a few years ago for this reason. The Ex version
simply fixes this bug, iirc, and adds no new features over the
non-extended version.
