However, I have never seen Xp detect more than 3. I have Xp Pro x32 with 4Gb installed. My Xp says I have 3. I have seen some only recognize 3. Much of this is dependent on whether your graphics are integrated or card. Why do you want more than 3gb lol. Joined May 10, Messages 1, 0.

In terms of lack of software, 'tis true, there is a bit of a lack of software, but then again, the uptake for bit is a bit low, which explains why that is. Compatibility with apps, like I mentioned, is perfect well, apart from GTR, but it hates bit for some reason even though GTL which is basically the same thing works fine on bit, although I play GTR2 anyhow , so using your apps should be fine. Just for the record, I have found some applications pertaining to image, video and audio editing do run a bit quicker under bit.

We said we would all use 64 bit OSes Thing is, for server platforms to be running over 4GB, they've all got to be running bit OS, so if most, if not all the important servers in the world are running bit, it's only a matter of time before we catch onto it as well.
The problem is Microsoft me thinks. I've also tested Gavotte RAMdisk and got the same result in eventlog. So, AWE will not help you. Your only alternative is a ramdisk that uses the unmanaged memory. But there is sometimes incompatibilities because some drivers can also use this memory and, of course, the system is not aware of that.
Anyhow, ImDisk does not have this kind of feature. Yes, that was what I'm trying to do, making use of the unaddressable memory from GB as RAMdisk for temp and pagefile ideally. I thought the awealloc will let us get pass that limit for ramdisk, but guess not the case for xp. Too bad. I've seen post from others that they were able to do that with Gavotte ramdisk for xp and make a ramdisk out of memory above 3GB-6GB, so was hoping imdisk will work.
Both didn't work for me. Might give commercial ramdisk a try then. Posted 19 July - AM. It all works flawlessly. But it depends on the hardware one uses and in the way the BIOS gives access to it. What's your hardware exactly? My crystal ball is out for tunning again, sorry! Thanks for the info, I might try disabling the DEP. I tried both IMdisk and Gavotte and both were having the same error in event log failing to allocate. Confirmed with Coreinfo. And I just tried the Primo Ramdisk trial and it works!
I'll give DEP disabled a try. Posted 20 July - AM. Posted 21 July - PM. Thanks cdob, interesting but may be more than I want to tackle. Thanks dencorso, I'll give it a try. The key diff with my registry entry right now are that the "Tag" and "group" keys are missing from mine, and the rest of the entries in both sections are the same including UsePAE. Posted 22 July - AM. Are you sure you're using Rramdisk. I'm on 1. Hope it'll work this time. Posted 22 July - PM.
In any case, do tell us whether it's working, now. You may just substitute Rramdisk. Posted 23 July - AM. Thanks, appreciate your help! I'll give it a try on the weekend and report back!
