[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1041695, member: 46727"] The boot.ini file is a hidden system file in the root of drive c. You can use notepad to edit it but you will first have to remove the hidden system attributes. After the attributes are removed, look for the line in boot.ini that ends with /fastdetect. Leave a space after /fastdetect and add /3GB. It will look like ............ /fastdetect /3GB Save the file in Notepad. Replace the attributes you removed and reboot Windows XP. Your XP will now recognize 3GB. In order for Windows to recognize more than 3 GB of system memory requires some additional hacking or the use of a 64 bit version of Windows. Regards. [/QUOTE]
