4 GB of RAM not adsressable?Hi NG,
one of our customers has a problem with a new system. We built 4 GB of RAM in, but Windows Server 2003 only allocates 2,87 GB (Windows 2000 uses 3 GB). Is there any way to use more of the built-in memory? I get this values by "System" in control panel. We used the following hardware: Intel D915PCY Mainboard INTEL Pentium4 660 3600MHz 2MB LGA775 90nm FSB800 CPU 4 GB of MDT DDR-II-533 RAM MSI NX6200TC-TD64E 64MB DDR DVI Graphic Card Regards, Mark Aslan Kuschel Irgendware Software Solutions GbR (MCP)

thanks for your post. I already read that article, it applies for computers with more than 4 GB of RAM. But we have exactly 4 GB of RAM, writing the /PAE switch into boot.ini hat no effect there. Anything else?

That's why I'm thinking it is a software problem "Mark Aslan Kuschel" <nospam@irgendware.com> wrote in message Have you installed appropriate chipset drivers for your motherboard?news:eqNMswUsFHA.3452@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > > Yes it shows the 4 GB correctly during POST. > That's why I'm thinking it is a software problem > -- Arek Iskra MVP for Windows Server - Software Distribution I believe this is something to do with the Intel chipset where some of the
memory was assigned to other devices. We have similar problem and either you put in the PAE option or leave it.

Intel describes on its website an EM64T technology for larger memory support. Could using Windows XP 64 Bit Edition result in 4 GB of avaiable RAM? Mark
