jcarle Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 hm. sounds like Ill have to do some googling. sounds like I can run XP 32 bit on my a64 x2 and still have (and use) 4GB of ram, because windows xp 32 bit control panel says I have PAE.Not hard to do. Operating System Support. The PAE kernel is not enabled by default for systems that can support more than 4 GB of RAM.To boot the system and utilize PAE memory, the /PAE switch must be added to the corresponding entry in the Boot.ini file. If a problem should arise, Safe Mode may be used, which causes the system to boot using the normal kernel (support for only 4 GB of RAM) even if the /PAE switch is part of the Boot.ini file.The PAE mode kernel requires an Intel Architecture processor, Pentium Pro or later, more than 4 GB of RAM, and Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003.The PAE kernel can be enabled automatically without the /PAE switch present in the boot entry if the system has DEP enabled (/NOEXECUTE switch is present) or the system processor supports hardware-enforced DEP. Presence of the /NOEXECUTE switch on a system with a processor that supports hardware-enforced DEP implies the /PAE switch. If the system processor is capable of hardware-enforced DEP and the /NOEXECUTE switch is not present in the boot entry, Windows assumes /NOEXECUTE=optin by default and enables PAE mode. For more information, see the topic "Boot Options in a Boot.ini File" in the Windows DDK.Source: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platf...PAE/PAEdrv.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) Way ahead of yah (I turn hardware DEP on by default and have since I first got my x2 a year ago). Edited December 3, 2006 by jaqie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Nice desktop. High res too... hmm, widescreen too... Dell 24" widescreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Sorry, no.If I could afford it I would have a nice large LCD, but this Sun GDM-5410 is my baby for now. The only CRT I could ever stand is the FD trinitron. Not even the diamondtron looks as good to me. (the NEC accusync 75F(?) is a FD trinitron too, but sadly the VGA connector got crushed and I can't get the VGA wiring right on it *cry* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
