Well I added the PAE switch and she boots up fine. When I go to My Computer and look at Properties there it still shows only 3.25 GB of RAM. Is it supposed to acknowledge the extra RAM there or not? (I actually have 6 GB of RAM installed, but just getting a full 4 would be nice.)
Also I tried the 3GB switch for XP a while back and couldn't get it to work - the only likely reason I could find was that it probably wouldn't work because I have a 1 GB RAM gfx card and apparently if the video RAM is that high it conflicts with devoting a full 3GB to other processes or something because there's not enough left over given the 3.25 GB limit with XP normally.
But if Windows is recognizing the additional RAM because of the /PAE switch, could I then try adding the /3GB switch as well, would the recognition of the extra RAM make any difference? Or is it strictly one or the other?
