I am running NT4.0/spk6a on a Netfinity 7100 server with quad processors. I have 4 1gb memory modules, and 4 64mb memory modules. When booting up, the hardware counts all the memory, but once NT starts, it only sees the 4 gb of memory from the 4 1gb modules. Is there a patch or a registry edit that needs to be done in order to exceed this 4gb memory limitation that I'm running into?

Thanks....TJ

Check your documentation on the server I think you'll find that 4gb is the most the motherboard can address.

Nt 4 Enterprise will support up to 4 gb memory so yes there is a limit.

Hi,

NT 4.0 Server supports up to 4GB RAM, not 4.2 GB. This is an limit per design.
NT 4.0 Enterprise supports up to 8 GB RAM,some implementions had 16 or even 32GB RAM. Yes there is an uprade possibilty from NT4.0 Server to the Enterprise Version, like

I would prefer an new fresh installation then an upgrade !
