So any help will be appeciated Cheers Ant Edited February 12, 200719 yr by gamehead200 fixed capitalizations
February 12, 200719 yr Please refrain from using CAPITALIZATIONS in the topic title or when participating in threads because they will not attract attention - instead it will annoy many of MSFN's members.Fixed.
February 12, 200719 yr uhh, yea, about the chipset, if its important, you may thing about actually opening the case and finding out what its called. 6GB of ram, thats got to be one intense board...is it all compatible? also, what kind of RAM is it?
February 12, 200719 yr Yeah, specifics of the hardware would definitely be helpful. Also, are you running 32-bit or 64-bit WinXP?PAE will work with AMD processors, but 32-bit WinXP still won't "see" anymore than 4GB.
February 12, 200719 yr i think if u look on the web u wil find that windows xp cannot adres more then 2gig of ram so sry mate cant use 6gig of ram on win xp but vista can work with it

February 13, 200719 yr Check the post listed by Jeremy. Most likely, you're using a 32 bit version of windows, which does not allow more then 4 gigs of memory. i would suggest upgrading to a 64 bit operating system (either windows xp 64 or vista 64), because this will allow you to use all your ram. on the other hand, you might encounter problems with your programs if they don't work in 64 bit. it's a gamble you might have to take to use all your ram.
February 13, 200719 yr Why ? is what I want to no .Thats crazy even considering it ? Specially with XP!.
February 28, 200719 yr thats a bit crazy, why doesnt XP allow more than 2gb ram?It does. The RAM limit is 4GB, not 2GB.
