Hi all.

Quite a while ago i posted a link to a patch that enabled windows 7 32bit to use all installed ram, and not just upto 3.25MB. There now exists newer patches for Vista+SP2 32bit, Win7 32bit, Win7+SP1 32bit, and 1 for Windows 8. All can be downloaded from -

Installing involves using the Command Prompt in Admin Mode. If you follow the included instructions exactly, there will be no problems.

I have installed and tested the Windows 7+Sp1 32bit patch and have 8GB of ram available. I haven't tried the others so i cannot say they work, though user comments on the site are favourable. As always please either make an image backup of your system, or at the least make a Restore point just in case.

Regards
 
I see several comments listed on that page, enough to discourage going through the trouble of applying this to a 32bit system. I would suggest not bothering, you will probably have problems with other software or drivers that cannot work above 4GB.
