Guest Alias Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 My new, clean install of 32 bit Lucid Lynx Ubuntu 10.04 recognizes all 4 GB of my RAM. Ya can't do that with Windows, folks. 32 bit XP only recognizes 3.5 GB. -- Alias Quote

Care to make it three? > > > -- > > Alias Well actually, 32 bit windows does recognize the ram, it just won't be able to use all of it due to the address space limitation of 32 bit windows. No place to map the extra ram to, therefore it will go unused. It can map around 4gb, but some of that will get used by hardware resources, so yes the amount of " available" ram will be somewhere around 3.25 gb on average. Of course, 64 bit windows does not have this limitation and will certainly make use of more ram. I run 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium and it makes nice use of my 6gb of installed ram, and runs very well on my system. -- Don Quote
Guest Drew Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 My god you have proven once again to be the biggest fuckin idiot in this group!!! I bet your eyes are brown too because you are so full of shit!

Well if that's all Linfux can do without having to jump through hoops to get that far - then that must be an improvement on Linfux. *eg* Now what about actually getting other things to work properly 'out of the box' without having to troll Usenet to get the answer first. BTW, if you really want to compare like-for-like (in the *context* [1] of updated Operating Systems) then 64 bit Windows 7 Will do recognise 4GB and *MORE* *AND* and run PnP out of the box. [1] You do *understand* what "context" means don't you? If not, then look it up boy, look it up! Quote

Your much publicized career as a consultant doesn't seem to generate sufficient for you to up-grade your computer system to 64 bits although 64 bit processes have been in the marketplace for quite some time now. Or, perhaps you are the rare craftsman who works with outmoded and shoddy tools..... which of course results in shoddy work. John B. Slocomb (johnbslocombatgmaildotcom) Quote

Guest WaterBoy Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Glad it worked for you. Ubuntu sucks... No sound since 8.04 and spotty network problems with this new version. I loaded Redhat Fedora the version of Redhat Fedora I'm using is months behind the new Ubuntu and Fedora is light years better... Anyone reading this is better off loading windows98 or Windows2000, you'll get better functionality than any flavor of Ubuntu...

Guest Peter Foldes Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Frank No it will not show the full 4 Gig even using the PAE switch. .You can use the either the 3GIG switch or the PAE switch it will not get a 32 bit XP showing all of the 4 GIGS.
