Unpatched, problems occur between 8MB and 12MB depending upon configuration, in particular, the type of Ethernet used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is the type of Ethernet of influence? Do the registry and Ethernet share some memory assignment? Edited March 25, 2012 by Mijzelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigabit Ethernet, in particular, uses significant amounts of this memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
