Hello Jason,
The /maxmem is a switch that would limit the amount of RAM that the system
sees to the first 6 gig so this would have no affect. This switch starts
by eliminating RAM from the TOP down.
The /burnmem is a switch that tells the system not to use the first xxx
amount of RAM in the system. It is another switch to limit the amount of
RAM that you see but it starts at the bottem to eliminate memory. You are
eliminating all the RAM with this switch in this case
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
