On the line that has your operating system on it, underneath the [operating systems] header, add the following to the end of the line:
Do NOT change anything else on this line!!!
This will allow 32-bit versions of Windows to address the entire 4GB of RAM. Works for XP/2003 too. Not responsible if you hose your system; I've heard that Vista sometimes might not like this switch, but it's worth a shot...I haven;t read the entire Anandtech article, but it looks interesting... | |  | |  | |
I would like to see this article... From what I understand that will allow windows to "see" more then 3GB... but it is still bound to the physical address limitation of 32bit which will "not" use more than 2.7GB (that is all of the memory, system, video, ect... combined btw)
If you can find a credible article that proves me and everyone else that has read about this wrong I welcome it.....
