Re: Physical Address Extension (PAE) does not work on vista as expected.

Oh, it's VERY practical. The addressing requirements of my hardware eats over a gigabyte (frighteningly close to half) of my 4GB RAM. If you run multiple instances of games at a time (very common practice for MMORPG gamers) your memory requirements go up dramatically.

I might as well mention: you can actually use OVER 4GB of ram with PAE... I just happen to only have 4GB installed at the moment. Of course, I won't be upgrading my ram until I have bullet-proof PAE support in the OS that's most compatible with my games.

Thank you. I didn't know that.

What is the practical use if, in this case, it doesn't let the box
access more than 4GB compared to 3.5GB without ity, and it does have
overhead when it is being used?
