| 673476 | 2008-05-28 23:02:00 | Give us a model no. As said it may be a 32bit address limit (actually its a software limit as well). What you COULD do is create a ram drive using this unused space and use it as a fast HDD (only 1GB though :p). A good use would be your pagedisk so your HDD does less work and your computer runs faster.To use it as a ramdisk, Windows would have to see it - which it can't. |

| 673477 | 2008-05-28 23:37:00 | Windows 32bit will only ever see 3 gigs, maximum. I wouldn't worry about it. Incorrect mate....3.5Gb or thereabouts, however use PAE you can use the entire 4Gb To enable PAE, use the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini file. To disable PAE, use the /NOPAE switch. |

| 673479 | 2008-05-29 00:07:00 | Looks like the /pae switch can be used in XP/2003 as well | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 673481 | 2008-05-29 00:42:00 | Looks like the /pae switch can be used in XP/2003 as wellAnd it seems to do more or less nothing - I have PAE enabled on a machine with 4GB ram here, and it makes no difference to what Windows XP can see (a little over 3GB). Linux (64bit) sees it all. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 673482 | 2008-05-29 00:49:00 | Well as already said 32 bit wont see all of 4GB | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
