post separately instead? I can do that.
Ignore him and don't vote for him. Crosspost all you want.

Hello.
A couple days ago, I upgraded my old 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3 (IE6)
system/computer/system to an Intel i7 with 6 GB of RAM. I know that
32-bit
operating systems/OS' cannot see all that RAM due to old software
designs'
limitations. Currently, my working Windows only sees about 2.5 GB of
physical RAM (shouldn't it be 3 GB though?).
I heard that I can use the unused memory for other things like a RAM
drive
for swap files, %temp%, etc. How do I do that?
And yes, I will get 64-bit W7 or another OS one day. At this time, I am
not going to do that since XP Pro. SP3 does fine for what I need. 
Thank you in advance.
