Hey!
Thanks a lot man! This is what i was looking for... Actually i have 8GB memory and i cannot use the entire 6GB memory with Windows 7 64-bit. Now i tried this trick and on reboot i was able to utilize 6GB of memory as 2GB was reserved for hardware devices. I reffered this post : http://forums.techarena.in/motherboa...am/1175521.htm which led me here. Thanks a lot once again! :notworthy
Hello Baker what parameters did you type into virtual memory to utilize the additional 6GB e.g. intial and maximum size - I'm useless at maths. I also have 8GB with 64bit OS Windows 7 Ultimate.
Hope you can help
Thanks Robert.
what is the initial size and maximum size of virtual memory
for a (2+2)4gb ram installed in a Intel Q9550 Motherboard
which runs on a Intel(R)Core(TM)2Quad@2.83GHz Processor
Baker, you still have a problem. I also have 8GB of memory but only 71MB reserved for hardware. That Windows has 2GB marked as hardware reserve means that it is there, but for some reason Windows can't use it. It could be a mismatch between ram banks.Quote:

Hope it works, but if you never messed with this setting, it shouldn't change by itself, i.e. both boxes should be unticked by default.
I am looking for a tool that can help me to manage Windows page file as I keep working. I tried to find but there is nothing provided on that. You will need to control the page file on the basis of inbuilt process. But do not much play with that. If you found your system utilizing too much page file, simply add more number of ram sticks in your system and then check back. This will improve your system performance.
