32-bit
I believe this is the error when we tried 2GB:
091028 16:07:26 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

>>We are having a problem increasing the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 2GB or more of memory, anything past 1148MB the MySQL service will not start. Any ideas?
Is your server 32bit/64bit? Could you post the error(complete error log would be good) you are receiving after setting more than 1148MB? Also, please post my.ini?
