Solved The 32-bit RAM Issue

[sidewinder]

CreepinJesus,

This link verifies that the Intel i945PM chipset supports a maximum of 4GB of RAM.

Mobile Intel® 945PM Express Chipset - Overview

I downloaded a pdf file that says that the chip set supports up to 4GB
of addressable memory space and that addressing of memory ranges larger than 4 GB is not supported.

In other words, the address space for the chip set is 4GB so you have the same limits and issues as if you were running a 32-bit Vista.

Ah well... 3GB is enough I rarely get above 60% usage as it is.

Thanks for all the help everyone

How do I mark this thread as 'Answered' or whatever? Would be useful... (with the 'solution' being my chipset is limited to 4GB, where the "limit = installed memory" issue (stated previously in this thread) comes into play).
