hi,
a friend of me is facing the following problem: he does have a dell xps pc
with 4 x 1 gb ram. when he starts his windows xp sp3 32bit media center
edition he correctly sees 4 gb when opening msinfo32.exe. if he checks the
control panel -> system settings it is just 1.75 gb.
when he starts memory-intensive programs it does not work as expected due to
memory problems.
boot.ini is not changing anything when using the /pae-switch.
any idea what is going wrong here? btw: am i right in saying that windows xp
can use 4 gb by default with 32bit os?
