| Re: What happens with 4Gb RAM under XP?
Hi
You guys could become all become heroes by offering a definative answer to this question!
Lets face it the Hexus forums are somewhere to go to get definative answers! And I apologise that this subject has arisen so many times.
Running AMD 64 X2 with XP Pro 32 bit, currently with 2GB RAM installed but have another 2GB sat here in a box waiting to go in.
Three questions really.
1. As, has been suggested in lots of other forums, will I suffer performance loss by installing the extra 2GB of RAM?
2. Which switch would be best to use. The /PAE or /3GB one in boot.ini. Should I use either, both or none?
I'm not bothered what sys info tells me I'm more bothered about performance and so am more concerned that not using a switch is going to affect it.
3. Should I change or 'disable' my page file?
There are litterally thousands of forum posts on tinternet about this, but no black and white answers. So I was over the moon when I found a thread on here, as you guys have helped me out in the past with your answers (browsing as an anonymous user).
Thanks in advance for the ultimate answer!

PS And I have absolutely no desire to move to a 64b OS at the mo and certainly never to Vista as I've seen it and had to use it, and don't like it. |
