Dude, did you check that you have the latest BIOS? This won't affect how much physical RAM the system can address or report.
The per-process allocation of virtual address space is an entirely different matter. Originally posted by: coolVariable 4GB? I'm running 1. I did the upgrade manually, as I've had bad luck with autoupgraders like LiveUpdate, but I'll give that a shot and make sure it says I'm clean. Okay, so progress has been made!
Windows boots up, and reports 3G of physical memory! However, upon re-insertion of the second video card, it goes back down to 2G of physical memory reported.
So now I have a culprit, but losing 1G of address space to one M video card doesn't make any sense. Especially since with one video card, I'm down to 3G from the 3. So, does anyone have any idea why I'd be losing 1G of addressable space to a M video card? Or who I should talk to about it? Originally posted by: Nothinman I realize what you said and what remapping does.
The memory lost to hardware is going to be the same whether or not that lost memory is remapped above 4G so changing that setting should have no affect on XP.

Unfortunately, there is no other recourse as long as you're using bit Windows. The closest you can get is to use the "3 Gig Switch". Edit your boot. The hardware can support that much, but only if you have a bit operating system on top of it. As far as I know, there is nothing you can do. Its simply a limitation of the OS. They did make a bit version of Windows XP, but its no longer supported. And running a dedicated graphics card in your workstations if you're not already will eek out a few more MB for your cause.
The only way you are going to be able to take advantage of the additional RAM is by running a bit OS as others have stated. Having dealt with ADP as the Director of IT for the largest auto dealer group in Wyoming it will be at least another 10 years before they figure out what bit computing is as they just barely upgraded all of their code to 32 bit 2 years ago when I was running them for our auto dealer group.
My condolences to you but keep up the good fight. I doubt it. Most decently new processors support bit. All processes running on that system get a virtual memory address space of 4 GB, 2GB for private memory , 2GB for operating system stuff; regardless of how much RAM is available. If you have 3GB installed on the systems in question, then that should be sufficient for your requirement.
I was just thinking the same, that my only option without having to switch to 64bit XP is to go up to 3GB RAM and hope that it'll be sufficient to run all processes and applications.
I think NVidia probably knows how to build a video codec for their cards, plus it's only bucks, and I feel warm toward NVidia for all the nice free drivers they've supplied the Linux community. This MB will run memory clocked to This thing boots faster than any computer I've ever owned and appears to be rock solid.
I'm happier than a pig in Vista. Rocket Man. Mordaunt , Feb 9, I thought about switching over to 64 bit windows but am holding back from that because I do not want to have to reformat my computer. This is exactly why I switched my windows install from my old celeron to the quad. I have so many programs and configurations on this computer that reformatting and restoring it all would take nearly a week of nonstop work.
Wow so is Vista x64 slower then xp X64? Vista x64 isn't that stable yet especially with a Nvidia video card. To answer your question, Vista anything is slower than XP anything.
