bonestonne Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 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?

nmX.Memnoch Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 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.

cluberti Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 thats a bit crazy, why doesnt XP allow more than 2gb ram?It does. The RAM limit is 4GB, not 2GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
