4GB of RAM

by tonyemm . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hi Folks,

I have a PC Intel P4 running Windows XP Pro. A few months ago I installed 4GB of RAM of which only 3GB was reported in Windows. I posted a question detailling my problem and was pointed to the PAE switch in the Microsoft Knowledge base website. This worked fine when I had Service Pack 1 installed, but the moment I installed Service Pack 2 the RAM went back to 3GB. I enclose the Boot.ini file:

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /fastdetect /PAE

The Bios is reporting all 4GB of memory.

Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Tony Emm
