Whats the RAM cap for vista home premium x32 and is there a patch that gets rid the RAM cap? I have a HP DV6000 laptop and I have only 1 gig of ram, 1258 MB for a paging file and a 4 gig SD card enabled for Ready Boost. now that adds up to about 6 gb of RAM (vitural and real), and when I play games that take up 400,000 mb of ram (BF: Vietnam) , it lags like crazy in single player. So what could be douing this and is there a patch around RAM cap?

You do realize 400,000 mega bytes of ram is impossible right? :rolleyes:
(1000MB = 1GB) (Total ram possible in a computer 8GB)
As to your question about the ram cap. It. Is. Not. Possible.
 
Vista 32bit is stuck around 3gbs. depending on your hardware. You can install SP1 and it will show the total amount you have but you will still be using around 3gbs. It can really see up to 4gbs. but hardware address eat up some.
 
What about ready boost or a paging file? if i have like say a 4 gig cache of ready boost and a 4 gig paging file along with my 1 gig of phisical RAM, that would that add up to 9 gig, but how much would Vista actually use as RAM?
 
You only have 1gb of ram? You need atleast 2gb for Vista to run good. I have used a 2gb flash drive for ReadyBoost and it DOES actually work but, not a whole lot.
 
When people ask these questions, rather than saying around 3.25GB or 3.3GB, then people debating on how much they think it would be. Why don't we say

"The max addressable limit is 4GB, but due to extra hardware, it will be significantly less"

I think it would make more sense in other topics, where new computer enthusiasts get completely stuck then all the estimates make them even more confused.

Just my opinion though :)
