Simple XP 32BIT 64Gb RAM (true Pae) Guide

[Dave-H]

Has anyone here actually got Dibya's patch to work?

I've found a couple of supposed sources for it, but they all seem to contain just original system files, with no apparent modifications made to them.
The instructions that came with one of them seem very strange indeed -

"1. Place contents of the "For System32 folder 
into C:\WINDOWS\system32; Replace .exe and .dll 
files in System32

2. Enter "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers", copy contents
of "For Drivers" folder (all .sys files) to the dictionary 

3. Enabling PAE
Click the start menu, then run (alternatively
pressing win + r). Type "C:\boot.ini" then add
"\PAE" at the very end of the last line of text.
SAVE the file!

4. Reboot and enjoy up to 128gb of ram on your
Windows XP installation"

The "For System32" folder contains all the HAL and NTKRNL dll and exe files used for various types of system.
They all seem to be unmodified originals.
Quite how putting all of them in your System32 folder (when only one pair is needed) will do anything other than produce an error message is puzzling!
