Boot.Ini - add /PAE
However, even without that qualifier XP should natively see more than
2.5 Gigabytes. Was it home built or purchased from an OEM ?

Hello--

I have a new PC with Windows XP Pro on it and 4 GB or RAM for when I
upgrade
to 64-bit. In Windows 32-bit it is only showing 2.5 GB and I thought 3 or
3.5
was the max.

I posted to a different forum and they said there is a switch or something
I
can add to show the max RAM. Does anyone here know about that?

Many thanks,

sd
