Some RAM drives when used with 32-bit operating systems (particularly 32-bit Microsoft Windows) on computers with IBM PC architecture allow memory above the 4 GB point in the memory map, if present, to be used; this memory is unmanaged and not normally accessible. [2] Software using unmanaged memory can cause stability problems.
SoftRAM was designed for use with Windows 3.1.It was launched in March 1995 and sold more than 100,000 copies. [2]Most out-of-memory errors in Windows 3.x were caused by the first megabyte of memory in a computer, the conventional memory, becoming full.

The difference is a direct result of the sizes of the values used to report the amounts of total and unallocated (free) extended memory in 1 KB (1024-byte) units: XMS 2.0 uses 16-bit unsigned integers, capable of representing a maximum of (65535 * 1 KB) = 64 MB, while XMS 3.0 adds new alternate functions that use 32-bit unsigned integers ...
