Dear remi66:
As you put it "That is fine", however not only the BIOs takes away memory,
the Operating system takes a chunk as well. In addition with the newier BIOS
you can remap around the PCI Memory hole if you have 4 GB or more. Thou the
processor has to support remapping which from memory is E0 and newier. At
the time of this post I am seeing just over 4 GB of ram. I have remapped
around the memory hole and this gives me access to the 4 GB of ram less
resource manager memory address table for PCI and other hardware devices, and
the operating system itself. Thou this works well with 64-bit operating
systems. However, with Vista 64-bit there are other problems like not
supporting SLI due to the address remapping. I know Microsoft and Nvidia are
working on the problem. I suspect that Vista 64-bit is still using a 32-bit
DLL somewhere and has problems supporting the higher address range. As for
the 32-bit version of Windows I have no idea for I have run the 32 bit
version for a year now. And I am still working on Vista 64 bit issues with
drivers and such.
