Do a Google search on boot.ini and you'll be rewarded with many articles
describing the many boot.ini switches and what they do when memory goes
above 2GB. Also, Microsoft articles KB 291988, 833721.

I have installed Pro SP/2 with 4G of RAM.
The My Computer | Properties | General shows 2G of RAM
and the System Information shows:
Total Physical Memory 4,096 MB
Available Physical Memory 1.71 GB

My hardware is a Core 2 Duo 6600 and the Intel 975 chip set.

Why don't I see 4G RAM on the General tab?
How come the available physical memory is so low?
