Hey ya all
Came across a patch, actually saw it on a friends pc, that allows 32bit OS to see and use ram that are beyond the traditional 3GB limitation that 32bit OS is known for. The patch appears to work by modifiying certain registry keys and possibly even some things in the bios.
I was wondering is such thing even possible? Even though Im seeing it, I just thought maybe it could just be a display hack or number hack, where in reality the max ram allowed in 32bit OS is still 3GB
My understanding is that the 3GB limitation is an actual windows 32bit architecture limitation, hence regardless of what is done to the reg or even the bios it is only able to use 3GB of ram, even though it may well be able to see more than 3GB.
But then again the registry is the heart of the OS, so I guess anything is possible.
