[OC]ModShop - Enable 4GB of memory on Vista

You can do the same thing in XP via the boot.ini:
The RAM reported by the System Properties dialog box and the System Information tool is less than you expect in Windows Vista or in Windows XP Service Pack 2

just add "/PAE" to the end

why does PAE suck?

 

[Mr. LL]

/PAE should work fine.

 

[ThirdLeft152]

doesn't it say that PAE theoretically makes your pc run slower?

 

[Mr. LL]

I don't think so, we run /PAE on all our servers but maybe it's different on XP.

 

[Apokalipse]

doesn't it say that PAE theoretically makes your pc run slower?

if you run more than 4GB, I think.

 

[Deadpixel]

what exactly do i do. I did not understand any of that,.

 

[Apokalipse]

open the boot.ini with notepad, and add "/pae" to the end of it
