Windows 7 x86 and 4 Gigs ram

Post by KALSTER »

I just download a patch that is supposed to change something in the kernel of Windows 7 so that it will recognize 4 Gig or more ram. Have any of you guys heard about something like that? I haven't installed it yet, thought I head off a problem if one exists.

The patch is HERE if anyone is interested. I am hoping for good news!


Edit: It looks like it is indeed possible to use a lot more memory than just 4 Gb. :) Listen to what Geoff Chappell has to say. :wink:

Looks exceptionally dodgy, and definitely illegal.

If you aren't happy with PAE then go 64 bit. Hacking the windows 32 bit kernel to enable a feature is a bad idea.

Especially when you use Russian hacker written appz to do it :?

Also old news is old
