Has anyone here tried the PEA patched for XP 32bit with a sound blaster?
I know the SB drivers for XP only have 32bit addressing even on XP 64bit witch disabled EAX and hardware sound when more then 4gb of ram is in the system. I was wondering if the 36bit addressing of a PAE enabled kernel would also disabled EAX or cause problems?
normally this would not be a problem but I have one last game I have yet to put on my retro gaming PC due to its ram usage being over 2gb and I did not want to use the 3gb switch in the boot.ini as that leaves only 1gb for the OS/drivers end of things. The PAE patches from what I know removed the 2GB per app limit and frees up PCI hole space.
Thanks.
