XP Pro (32b) & 4GB Ram

[cliffhucker]

Hi,

I had an extra pair of 1gb modules and I threw them in.

So now my system has 4 GB of Corsair. all the same modules (2 pair)

Windows XPPro32 only shows 3GB. My bios shows 4 GB and I have remapping enabled.

Is it possible to get XP to show 4GB?

The documents I have found do not make alot of sense to me.
In this document it says to change the boot ini but it says to 3 gb?

And the last time I messed with the boot ini i was locked out of windows so I do not want to F^%$^% anything up.

Thanks

and ur shocked??

xp 32bit only supports up to 3.0GB of RAM..... you need to either get 64bit XP or get Vista 64bit or remove 1 stick or live with it

It only does 3 with PAE? I thought it was 4, guess I'm wrong.

Did you use /PAE instead of /3GB?

Windows 32 Bit will only recognize 3 or 3.5 GB of RAM. That also includes your Video card. It will never recognize the full 4. For that you need 64 Bit.
