Bump.. Any ideas for the xp pro version?

Not sure about enabling it as RAM, but there are instructions for using the the non-usable memory as a RAM Disk, which does supposedly increase performance, but i've never had enough RAM in an XP machine to warrant trying.
 
THIS IS NOT FOR Win 7, sadly, just XP.
as i am new member (joined to post this) i cannot post links, however the title of the article is:
 
Making Use Of Non-Addressable Wasted RAM On 32 Bit Systems
can be found under "/RAMDisk" on the site megaleecher . net 
 
If you own a 32-Bit  with more then 3 GB of RAM you must be knowing that your operating-system can only make use of roughly 3 GB RAM and rest remains unused because of , today I will be showing how you can make use of this wasted memory improving your computer speed significantly.
The best way to utilize this wasted memory and speed-up your computer is to use it as an RAMDISK, storing frequently accessed temporary files like system pagefile, temp-files and web-browser cache, since I/O operations to RAM is significantly faster then disk you will greatly benefit from using RAMDISK as a temporary file storage.
 
 
I tried a similar techniqe to the OP, but couldn't succesfully boot with my custom kernel.
 
Hopefully this works better. I'll report back on results.

 
Hello all
 
Is there any way to do that for windows 8 enterprise ?

I'm going to say there is not.  At this point in the game, it's worth just upgrading to a 64-bit OS.

I'm in complete agreement. It's far better to simply install a 64 bit operating system. If the total amount of motherboard ram and GPU ram exceed 4GB then a 64GB operating system is far better.

frankly I loved my W7 with this tweak... 64 bit need a compleeeeeete reinstallation and all my 16 and 32 bit soft will never use full ram so its really ridiculous for me to do that.
I have to come back to W7 this is a best thing I have to do, W8 is not better.

Have to disagree with your Win 8 comment. My Win 8 system shows a 5 to 10 percent improvement on speed and copying.

I dont know what speed or copying you speak about exactly ? but personaly I can say that windows 8 is 50% slower than 7 with 7zip with huge file, its the same with Mpeg4Modifier or video encoder = windows 8 is 50% slower than seven. Acronis True Image is 2X slower with windows 8 than windows 7 and I use it every days... Not sure but I think Photoshop is worse with windows 8... But may be you mean about the windows boot, is that true we are about booting many time every days LOL
 
And I agree with you : Everywhere we see that windows 8 is faster than windows 7 bla bla bla ding$ ding$ dong$ HO$ HO$ HO$. About that I can say I know personally a few journalists, it is pure marketing $$$. The last and not the least, I have hybrid momentus hard drive and windows 8 dont know it (!) because its slooooooooooooooower than 7.
 
I'm sure that every day and each day I will find something disconcerting and pathetic with windows 8, not to mention the loss of aero or gadgets...

Odd, but there must be something wrong with your system. I've used 7zip extensively and it's the same or slightly faster than on Win 7. Photoshop,  currently running CS6 64bit,  performs the same if not slightly better. Acronis the same. I've not used the other programs you listed. Given the literally thousands of real world users that are not reporting the issues you are...well figure the odds. BTW, why would you bother with a hybrid drive on a desktop anyway?

I run 32bit system, not 64. Lappy, not desktop. Nothing wrong, except windows 8 (!)
My 7 is more faster than your 8 for sure...
