Hey wonder if anyone can help... got a pc here with 4gig ram (dont ask me why they need so much) and windows only see's it as 2.75. is there anyway we can make it see all 4gig?? Cheers for any help Carl
Do they run the internet? edit: Ah, I think I found the answer. Have you tried switching the page file off? I would assume that it's set to 1.25GB.
Well WinXP does support 4GB. Does the BIOS see all 4GB? Is it a PCI-Express board as this will explain some of the missing memory. Also have you added the /PAE switch to the boot.ini?
Did you check for the /PAE switch in boot.ini. If it's not there add it at the very end. Should look something like this. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /PAE BTW the boot.ini is a hidden system file normaly at the root of C:
The /PAE switch applies to certain versions of Windows only it would seem, according to this. Just in case you missed it btw: Ah, I think I found the answer. Have you tried switching the page file off? I would assume that it's set to 1.25GB.
