weird RAM
Even if PAE provides for 36bit addressing, the max memory 32bit Windows can
access is 4GB. It may involve two address ranges but no more than 4GB is addressible at one time. "dennis" wrote in message ... Colin Barnhorst wrote: 32bits still cannot address more than 4GB. PAE can change the absolute addressing. And the point is, 32 bits are no longer the maximum the CPU can address when you enter pae mode. Then the maximum is defined by the programmers at Microsoft.

It is one big address space whether or not it is 32, 36 or more bits. The virtual address space doesn't grow bigger, but that is not the issue.
