Hoi, hardware nerds

[Proper Bo]

am I correct in thinking that a 32bit version of windaes won't recognise/use 4gb of ram?

[Cabalo]

you're correct.
only 64Bits OS will recognise RAM over 3 Gb.

[Mr. Mulder]

to the max.

[Proper Bo]

right, 64bit it is then.

[Mr. Mulder]

wtf do ewe want 4gigs for anyway? are you going to be posting on two forums at once or something else?



/muh laptops got 4gigs but it shows as 3070MB, true story.

[Proper Bo]

It's not for me, like, it's for the wench's new pc.

Upgrade your OS to 64bit :unsure:

It's so crazy it just might work

Upgrade your OS to 64bit :unsure:
you and your drugs :rolleyes:

[Proper Bo]

k, someone find me a 64bit vursion of vista and/or xp.

[Alien5]

Vista is for Quakers.

It's possible to utilize 4GB, Bo with a 32-bit OS. I'm getting ready to head to a Texas Hold'em tournament. I don't have time to explain, but here is a link to a site explaining how to enable PAE and DEP mode:

That looks like a bit of a pissabout, like, I think it'd be easier to just get a 64bit OS.

Cheers. Wish me luck.

Good luck bd.

you're correct.
only 64Bits OS will recognise RAM over 3 Gb.
Point of fact 32bit recognizes 3.5GB :P Some will argue that 64 has no problems at all but I have found to still have some driver issues with older hardware, and an all around inexplicable buggyness from time to time

I bet if he keeps it for some more time he would be able to sell it off to a museum for a good amt

Wrong, nub.

/3GB, /PAE and AWE have only been known since, like, forever though, so I can see how it might be news to you.

Also WRONG. The hard limit is generally 4GB, I reckon. I've also seen people claim some 32bit operating systems can use 64GB, but that sounds like hokus pokes or something else.

EDit: I'ma have to start reading BD's posts, lulz.
