Dear All, Hi! I am back with another querry. First, I want to thank David Hopkins for his useful advice regarding installation of Fedora Core on T7400 Dell Workstation. Now, I have another issue. We have got five Dell T7400 workstations which has come with pre-installed Windows XP Pro. It has 1 TB HDD, 32 GB RAM, 1.5GB NVDIA card, etc. In windows it can (detect) use only 4 GB of RAM which may be the limitation of XP. Now, I have put Fedora Core 8 (32 bit) on this machine (I have tried FC9 but it was showing some signal problem regarding monitor, but I have the required resolution and frequency in the monitor) and everything is working fine. But, the only problem is here also it is taking (using) only 4 GB of RAM. It is a dual boot machine now having Windows Xp and Fedora Core 8.
This is the wrong list, you should be asking questions like this on the Fedora list.
That aside, 32-bit addresses allow addressing 4 Gbytes memory. Take out a bit for video, for memory-mapped I/O, for system ROM and you're back to around 3.5,
To use more, you need an OS able to use larger addresses, such as 64-bit Windows and 64-bit versions of Linux (PAE is a bit of a bandaid).
So my question is if there is a way to use all my 32 GB RAM and how. I would be grateful if someone can advice me on this.
