neet. I'll have to try that tonight... I flattened my Vista machine again. I have a spify screaming fast (5.6 Vista index) Dell 9200 with 4 gig of memory but I only get 3 gig in XP. In Vista I also only get 3 gig so I flattened it and bumped up to Vista x64. Bam, all 4 gig. But... no drivers for my wireless adapter. :-(

Flattened it again and went back to regular Vista (and only 3 gig memory). I weep at the $120 667mhz 1 gig memory stick sitting idle...

Great find Keith! I just installed and it works terrific! How about a post on DreamScene?

Dug around a little (ie, under 10 minutes) and discovered that XP and Vista 32 count the pagefile as main memory and you can't have more then 4 gig of memory (32 bit address space). So, disable the page file and the 4th gig becomes available. Silly me.

Significant chunks of address space below 4GB (the highest address accessible via 32-bit addressing) get reserved for use by system hardware:

• the BIOS – including ACPI and legacy video support

• the PCI bus including bridges etc.

• if you’ve got PCI Express support that’ll reserve at least 256MB

Oh that is cool! Thanks :) I have been trying to keep up with getting the drivers installed that should be installed for VISTA.

Upgraded? to Apple Macbook Pro (with Vista Home Premium)
