Solved Hardware reserved Memory?

[whs]

Why is this thread still going on?
I mean seriously it was solved in the first two responses.
The rest of this really seems like meaningless bickering to me.
I'm sorry guys but this is really unlike most of you.

You are right. But I had the impression that the OP is still searching for the gold at the end of the rainbow.

Cool. Whatever.

Not that I post very often, but I won't be bothering again since the part-line group-think is just too powerful to bother butting up against.

I'm off to uninstall my ramdisk driver since I know now that it can never work.

It wont work ? really..?

Ya whatever guys, anyway thanks for the help..

Well, it works for me. :shock: Don't go uninstalling your RAM disk just because some of us are set against it. It's a personal choice. Go for it.

 

[bala2289]

I'm not going to uninstall whether it works or not.. anyway it doesnt matter..

People can be stubborn. It does work, and it makes sense to use it for a page file.

Btw, the address space is not "4GB-1" it is 4GB

I created a page file but i dont know whether i should replace this for the page file of the c drive or what? But it is a bad idea though since my ram drive has only 640 mb and is it enough for paging the c drive?

Check this out.

This is my Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit system reserved memory usage.

The size of the page file depends on your needs. Many small books have been written on that subject.

AdamantForce, did you modify it by hand, or did you trust some mysterious russians to do it for you (hint: it could be a bad move)?

What do you mean by patched to 64 bit?:shock:

 

[pallesenw]

It is a patch to remove the 4 GB physical ram limitation in the kernel.

Activate memory hole remapping in BIOS and you will get your "harware reserved" memory back.

Hardware Reserved Memory

Why is my hardware reserve memory so high?

 

[LMiller7]

Welcome to the forum.

Is this a 32 or 64 bit OS? What you are seeing is to be expected in a 32 bit OS if 16 GB RAM is installed. A 32 bit OS can address a maximum of 4 GB RAM of which about 3-3.5 GB will be accessible.

32 bit, I understand the amount of usable memory with a 32 bit system. But why so much allocated to hardware reserve.

 

[LMiller7]

With a 32 bit OS all memory above the 4 GB limit will be assigned to hardware reserved to prevent it being used. There is no one other category available for inaccessible memory.

You need to install 64 bit and get a newer video card, at least something in the 900 series.
