If you really need to know it the OS is the sum of the Ring 0 components which use the top gigabyte of RAM (if required). And some of the Core systems components which can take another gigabyte of RAM. Summed up the OS takes the top 2 gigabyte. But i guess this has changed when switching over to the WinNT type of kernel.
