Working with more than 3/4GB

[Guest junior]

It seems that with Vista is possible to overcome the 4 Gb barrier:

 

How to get more than 4 GB of memory under Windows Vista 32-bit

http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.korben.info%2F&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8

 

There is something like this on XP Pro 32 or, to work with more than 3/4Gb

XP only the XP 64-bit version?

 

Regards.

Hello junior,

 

The link does not work. Anyway, 32bit OS can only support up to 4GB RAM.

With Vista 64 bit you can use on Home Basic up to 8GB and the Business, Ultimate,

Enterprise editions can handle up to 128 GB of RAM, if you find workstation

motherboards that can handle the amount of RAM.

 

Best regards

That page is wrong. To use more than 4GB of RAM, you can either find

an OS that uses PAE (Programmed Address Extensions), or use a 64-bit

OS. PAE is used by Microsoft's server systems, but not by either XP or

Vista (except to implement DEP). I understand that Linux also supports

PAE. So for Microsoft desktop systems, namely XP and Vista, you'll

need the 64-bit version to use more than 4GB RAM.
