Memory limit on XP pro sp2???
Subject: Memory limit on XP Pro??? 8/19/2005 5:37 AM PST
By: Eric Boltz In: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics A client of mine recently purcahsed a graphics workstation. Huge rig, top of the line hardware. He got 4GB of ram in it, and all 4gb is seen during POST and BIOS checks. However, Windows XP will only show 3GB installed. I was able to get it to 'utilize' 3GB with the use of the /3gb switch in boot.ini, but still... is there any way to get XP pro to utilize all 4gb of ram, or did he blow a bunch of cash on extra hardware he'll not be able to use? Grillo I'm having the same problem and i changed the Boot.ini file and still showing less than 4gb...shows 2.75 gb???What should i do to fix that?The bios show 4gb too.My win is a xp sp2 professional.
