Windows Xp ? About The PAE Kernel 4 gig unlock

Can i unlock my full 4 gigs of ram i have a MSI military Class mother board 870A-G54 (OC) MOB
I am using Windows Xp 32bit sp3
AMD Athlon 3.2ghz Dual Core sytem
Cpu is running at 3.66GHZ (OC)Both cores unlocked Stays at a cool 85F
Ripjaw memory 4 gigs
hard drive space 320 gig Stays at a cool 87F
Video Card EVGA 8400gs Temp is around 95F
Power supply is a 550 Watt

Basicly a gaming desktop

I looked around and kinda got confused about this subject some people say it is posable too do it any idea on how too do it.My Windows is only reading 3.25gigs of memory.Witch i think is kinda bull.

 

Yes and no.

The motherboard supports up to 16GB of memory.

However, 32 bit Windows isn't going to give you any more memory than what you see. You will need 64 bit Windows (if you're going to get it, you may as well get Windows 7 64 bit).

 

I kinda don't like windows 7 be cause the the huge amount if memory and cpu it takes too run it ill stick with Xp be cause its the most stable system out there.And windows 7 is basicly based off of vista and Xp but mostly vista i hate too say it but 7 probably has hiding issues yet too be found in some systems. Simple is the best way too go.

The question is still is there a way too do it in the 32bit version i would like too know.Other then paying for Xp 64bit.

 

Another question with the windows 32bit
So i read some more about 32bit about it said that if you only put in 4 gigs of memory half of the memory will be used for some other stuff.

The physical address space is used to address more than just RAM. It is also used to address all of the memory and some of the registers presented by devices. Consequently, if a machine is configured with the maximum amount of physical memory, some of that memory will be unusable because some of the physical address space is mapped for other uses.

So would i be able too add two or more gigs of ram and get the max amount of memory.The memory was cheap price.was only 58.00 off of newegg

 

In my experience with the 32-bit versions, W7 uses around 200MB more RAM than XP SP3 and the difference in CPU times, gaming, etc. is negligible. W7 is way more stable.

If you're determined to stick with XP, why not try to buy the 64-bit version, it's based on Server 2003 rather than XP, as a result, it's much more stable and it'll allow you to use all your RAM.

 

XP is on its way out. Support for the original OS, SP1, and SP2 have already been discontinued, and support for SP3 isn't going to last a whole lot longer.

Windows 7 has less memory leaks than XP, and in general utilizes RAM (and everything else) much better.

Comparing Windows 7 to Windows Vista is like comparing apples to oranges. Yes, the visual interface is somewhat similar, but everything inside is vastly different.

Stick to XP if you want... there's people out there that still use Windows 98. The fact is, there IS change that's for the better, and Windows 7 is one of those changes.
