false, patently false.  rtfm.  

expanded memory is a complex issue because there are a large number of
configurations possible but MS Windows does indeed use and support expanded
memory. Its described in tfm.  Any follow-ups or flames should be directed 
to comp.windows.ms

As for the original question, I believe that a recent version of actor supports
expanded memory but you should call whitewater group for specific details.
