Anyways, if anyone reads this thread, rest assured that it is BS. If you have a chipset like 945 that limits you to 4GB total addressable memory - then no kernel patch in this world will change that.
Yes,of course not.
The question here was if the MMIO will eat x number of mega bytes (and not one entire GB like is OS is eating at the moment..)will the patch be able to unlock the rest of the 4GB installed RAM and the awnser to that is yes.
I dont know if you allready know how the X36 Archtitecture works or not but he doesnt limit you to the 4096MB of RAm (less the MMIO of course) like X86 architecture and that was the conversation here.
I also now that there isnt nothing in sofware that you can do to change the architecture of the hardware but there is patches to be applied in X86 Software that doesnt limit you RAM to the 4096MB of adressable RAM.
So in this case adamussg, have 4GB ram with Intel's 945 chipset (that cant manage more than those 4GB) but is X86 OS is only adressing 3 GB of adressable RAM) and that isnt because of the MMIO only (because MMIO only eat a few megabytes).
I can ensure you (you can see in the printscreent that i took to my desktop) that more RAM can be adressed (and you can see that te MMIO is present there too because only can manage up to 7.85GB of the 8GB that i have installed).
I also know that is impossible to adress the entire RAM in any system (no mather what kind of chipset you have)but it can unlock the rest of it by using X36 architectures.
And by the way,this modified Kernel uses PAE but not only, because it uses bypasses in the KERNEL it self so the OS dont block the RAM to be used.
