Upgrade Free Your RAM To 3GB!

* Latest versions Windows supports deep switch one option BOOT.This named / 3GB installs, adapt way memory are well distributed in among user and operating system. Near default, is equal separation -- until two gigabytes for consumers and two to operating system. / 3GB installs choice sets limits in those three gigs for consumers maximum and a exhibition to operating system.

* As the name indicate, / 3GB is originally mean to be used deep system that has 3 GB or more RAM -- something no longer quite as rare as it had been! However, even if one has no 3 GB or more memory, can you still use / 3GB installs successful if you am running for applications hungry memory desktop. Photoshop, for example, is famous to stake similar much RAM as can it. With / 3GB permit, there the greater memory so application can use.

* I had written formerly over use / 3GB installs in both Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 environment Server to back up intensive memory performance services such Exchange Server and SQL Server. Except, in a environmental desktop, you should consider any use / 3GB becomes temporarily until you determine your batch of applications use plays very well with it. (Rule follow my habit an ordinary to see if something hold under pressure is try him to two weeks under that various conditions; if this did not crash, it to be possible all right.)

* To increase / 3GB installs similar a boot separate choice:


-In My Computer | Properties | Advanced | Startup and Recovery, click Settings.

-Click the Edit button under System Startup to edit the BOOT.This file.

-Find the current boot entry, which typically looks like this:

-multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" / fastdetect

-Copy this line and paste it at the end of the BOOT.This file, and change it along these lines:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB Switch" /fastdetect /3GB
This lets you choose between a conventional boot entry and the /3GB boot entry. If something goes wrong when you use /3GB, you can always boot back into the original configuration.


-Save and close BOOT.INI.

-Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery panel.

-Click Settings again, and in the "Default operating systems:" dropdown, choose the newly created boot entry with the /3GB switch.
