I am new to this group, so I apologize in advance if I am asking a
redundant question. I looked, but didn’t see the answer anywhere.

I understand that a 32 bit operating system can only see 4 gb of RAM.
Windows XP had a switch you could turn on in the boot.ini file that
allowed you to use 3 gb RAM to a single program. I am a photographer
and utilize Adobe PhotoShop (a huge RAM slut) and after moving from XP
to Vista I find that I effectively went from 3 BG of available RAM in
PhotoShop to about 1.7 BG of RAM – creating a huge speed difference.
Does Vista have a way to recreate this 3 GB switch?

Interesting. I'll be curious to see how well this works for him.

I thank you for the link as well.

Thanks, Mike. It was because of the move away from the boot.ini to BCDEdit
that I wasn't sure if the switch mentioned in the OP would still work.
Thanks for the links, I've bookmarked them for future use and reference.
