<title>Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I bought&amp;nbsp; another 4GB of RAM for my Desktop with which i already have a 2GB in it and I know that my motherboard can handle up to16GB. But when I checked the DxDIag, It&amp;#39;s just showing that I have only 3GB total Physical memory RAM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there something I can do to get the rest of them to show up?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;System Information&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;Time of this report: 10/28/2008, 21:55:24&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Machine name: GEORRIE&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.080814-1233)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Language: English (Regional Setting: English)&lt;br /&gt;System Manufacturer: GBT___&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; System Model: NVDAACPI&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+,&amp;nbsp; MMX,&amp;nbsp; 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Memory: 3072MB RAM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Page File: 316MB used, 4640MB available&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)&lt;br /&gt;DX Setup Parameters: Not found&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Previous Dxdiag:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;System Information&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;Time of this report: 10/16/2008, 04:53:26&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Machine name: GEORRIE&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-215&lt;img src=&quot;http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Language: English (Regional Setting: English)&lt;br /&gt;System Manufacturer: GBT___&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; System Model: NVDAACPI&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+,&amp;nbsp; MMX,&amp;nbsp; 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Memory: 2048MB RAM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Page File: 585MB used, 3354MB available&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)&lt;br /&gt;DX Setup Parameters: Not found&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry... the 3.something GB RAM limit is because of XP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You need to move to a 64bit OS to use more than 4GB (minus a bit).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Either save the RAM for later (after you&amp;#39;ve installed a 64bit OS) or sell it to someone.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;There is a boot.ini parameter that will let you use up to the video memory handles (3.5ish GB).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WARNING! Incorrectly changing your boot.ini file can cause your computer to fail to boot.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to add the parameter:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;make a copy of c:\boot.ini and call it c:\boot.bak&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;right-click the original c:\boot.ini and turn off the &quot;read only&quot; flag&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;open the file and add&lt;br /&gt;/3GB&lt;br /&gt;to the end of the boot line that coresponds to your XP install&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;save the file&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;set the &quot;read only&quot; flag again&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;reboot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are unsure what to alter post your boot.ini here and I&amp;#39;ll modify the line for you. &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s okay then and thanks since I wouldn&amp;#39;t be able to use a total of 6 GB of RAM, I just returned it to the Store. I forgot about that Windows XP 64-bit that should be used to have a RAM higher than 3GB. Thanks again. Plus I dont think they sell those 64 bit anymore too &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt; TOOPID MS!!!!

<title>Re:Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;To add to this thread, I have a 64bit OS with 8gig of Ram.&amp;nbsp; I cannot get Mxo to use more than 1.4 gig...&amp;nbsp; I think its a product of&amp;nbsp;a 32 bit application running on a 64 bit OS.. I also have a 2gig ddr5 vid card that is hardly working to render mxo.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;/3GB only affects the OS&amp;#39;s memlimit. 32bit apps are still restricted to 3.5GB max due to the memory addressing structure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The OS being able to use up to 3.5GB means that you can have more programs loaded before needing to use the swap file.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Additional RAM??</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Incidentally, two other things about the 3GB threshold:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Your motherboard may have a setting for &quot;Software Over 3GB Remapping&quot;.&amp;nbsp; You can try enabling that to see if there is a difference.&amp;nbsp; All it will do is try to shift the registers around to fool the machine (but I bet this doesn&amp;#39;t help the OS if you&amp;#39;re on XP).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) With Vista, I still had problems with it only seeing part of my RAM...and Vista Service Pack 1 fixed it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
