    I needed some help regarding a specific software only being able to see 2gb of my 3gb of system memory and someone provided me with this link.

    I thought i'd share it with all of you since many here are computer experts. Who knows, this just might work! :D anyways, let me know what you make out of this and post results if you feel like trying it.

    I've tried it quite a while ago on my nc8430 with Vista and it doesn't work (I have 4096MB of RAM, but only 3455MB usable in 32-bit Vista). In fact, it actually causes a marginal slow down in performance, so I disabled it.
