Has anyone officially confirmed whether the 32-bit version of DAZ Studio is compiled with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:YES option or not?

not confirmed but my experience "it appears to be" thats' the safe bet but I didn't code it, i've been told it is.
Yes it can - dumpbin.exe of DAZStudio.exe confirms this (see highlighted line from output below):-

I used to use 4GB Patch on DAZ Studio, until I was made aware that it wasn't necessary anymore.
I had written a post on my blog about 4GB Patch, and at the time I was made aware that it wasn't needed anymore, I wrote an update to my post. I can't remember the date (maybe back in late 2009), or in what thread at the old forum, or who made me ware of it. It was a long time ago, that's for sure.
