Unpatched, problems occur between 8MB and 12MB depending upon configuration, in particular, the type of Ethernet used.

Why is the type of Ethernet of influence? Do the registry and Ethernet share some memory assignment? Edited March 25, 2012 by Mijzelf

Gigabit Ethernet, in particular, uses significant amounts of this memory.
