Jezz - I must be dumb or blind - I can't get the damn 3gb switch to
work. My computer reports 4gb of physical memory, but still only 2gb
is available to applications.
Could anybody please please take a look at my boot.ini file and check it?
Here it is with a dual boot which defaults to 3gb:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /fastdetect /noexecute=optin /3GB /userva=2800
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noexecute=optin
Does'nt it look allright?
Still here's the system info report:

Total Physical Memory 4.096,00 MB
Available Physical Memory 1,62 GB
Total Virtual Memory 2,73 GB ?
Available Virtual Memory 2,70 GB ?
Page File Space 1,87 GB
Page File C:\\pagefile.sys
( Why it reports 2.7gb avail virtual mem and pagefile space of 1, 87 - I dont know. My pagefile on C. is only 16mb and no paging file on other disk)
The task manager reports < 2gb avail. memory - so does
the computer general properties.
The only way I can make more ram visible, is by increasing the virtual memory - then I can load up to 2.7gb of samples, but this results in swapping to disk - so no point in that.
Any input would be most welcome
thx Bjarne
