Need Help with physical address extention

[boobloo]

Hi,
i want to use more then 4 gb of ram in my system which has 6 gb total installed and win 7 ultimate 32 bit OS. I found a way on the internet (given below) and used the command as described but win 7 still says 3.24 of 6 GB usable. Can you plz guide me.

I opened a command line with elevated right run as administrator and typed the command .

bcdedit /set pae ForceEnable

I Run bdcedit and validate the result. "pae" is set to forceenable

Thank you.

If you have greater than 4GB memory, it is more beneficial to install 64 bit OS because the greater RAM can be managed easily as well as taking advantage of multi-CPU usage.

Another bonus is that 32-bit applications can be executed while running 64-bit but not the other way around. With more programs and applications running 64-bit, you can expect a much more stable OS and honestly, overriding the 4GB barrier on 32 bit isn't very beneficial. Good luck~

Yeah, that command won't work. It's the nature of a 32-bit OS: all 32-bit operating systems (including Linux or Apple ones) are limited to a maximum of 4GB of RAM (2^32 = 4,294,967,296; 4 GB = 4,096 MB = 4,194,304 kB = 4,294,967,296 bytes). No amount of registry "fixes" will be able to circumvent that.
