Re: Total addressable by XP....RAM+Page file=4 gigs?

Set your pagefile to 'Windows managed'.. you do not need a 4gb pagefile..

Anything you have seen re. Windows and 4gb relates to installed physical
memory.. 32bit XP running on 32bit hardware does not show a full 4gb RAM,
although the system does utilise 4gb..

Hi, I have one gig of hard RAM and set my page file to 4 gigs, in two
2-gig partitions, one on each of two hard drives.

I know windows XP (32 bit version) can only address 4 gigs of hard RAM.
Is that also true for memory in general such that the total of hard RAM
+ page file that the system can see is 4 gigs total? So it can only see
three gigs of my four gigs of page file?

Thanks much!

Jim
