Asus P5W DH deluxe (no mods) 0801 bios
E6600 retail
Leadtek 7800gt
Task psu
windows XP service pack 2 (32bit)
8 gig (4x2gig) transcend ddr2 533 ECC regitered hehehe ^_^

24/7 stable
will post some 3d test later

from the philippines.. ^_^

**~~freecableguy~~** · 08-28-2006, 05:40 PM

CPU-Z sees 8GB....windows sees (and uses) about 3GB....

**M.Beier** · 08-28-2006, 05:41 PM

Hehe, now thats a good way to get rid of that darn pagefile

EDIT:
Kris, nah, 4096? (atleast if its not default detecting, MAXMEM=4096 should be possible?)
But yeah, not using 64bit os aint a smart thing

those that understand windows memory paging understand that you CAN'T get rid of the pagefile...

FCG

yup yup.. I'll about to upgrade to windows 2003 64bit or windows XP 64 bit ^_^ ..will post some result.. ^_^

**M.Beier** · 08-28-2006, 05:45 PM

Hmm.. nah, not compeltely, but with 2GB, my pagefile is fine.. And nah, Im doin' fine with 2GB, only get another 2 if I can get some more cheap D9DQT...

You know, this kit, it was quite cheap, and it just goes 530mhz 4-3-2-4, totally awesome.

M.Beier

is your oced E6600 running in stock voltage? what bios version you use? ^_^

**M.Beier** · 08-28-2006, 05:54 PM

hehe, not quite, 1.575v watercooled - ran that setting 1.6v with my sonictower..

I use some old bios 0701 or somethin'
havnt changed sig due mach's just around the corner, actually acording to the salesman of the store, I was told it would be here within 8 hours, the kit for my mach - LGA775

that's what xp-64 is for

M.Beier

ow i see ^_^ hehehe i don't usually put voltage.. but will try later.. ^_^ tnxs

**erwinz** · 08-28-2006, 06:07 PM

ozzimark

I hope the 64bit version can utilize the additional memory heheheh ^_^ will post later..

**ozzimark** · 08-28-2006, 06:10 PM

good luck

8gb is truely an impressive feat for a single socket desktop system

**erwinz** · 08-28-2006, 06:34 PM

tnxs!! ^_^

will be using this rig for video editing..

**shakenbake** · 08-28-2006, 09:48 PM

wow 8GB Registered ECC how much are those kabayan? lol

**TimPrice** · 08-29-2006, 04:24 PM

sticks photo?

well of course not the paging is all done via ram since its holding as much as it can in the ram. once it exceeds that you get virtual memory low erros. (but everything is still loaded from the hard drives so... :\

that 8gig wouldn't come in handy until Vista or Server 2K3.

Can anyone verify whether the 64-Bit can read more than 4GB? I haven't had the pleasure of having 2GB sticks to play around with it.

erwinz, I do know in 64-Bit that you will not likely have a program use more than 3GB of ram at a time. It may take advantage of 6GB or more if it takes advantage of multi-threading.

**erwinz** · 09-01-2006, 02:09 AM

@Deathspawner
Sir tomorrow i'll be installing XP64 bit.. ^_^ will post the result hope it uses more ram.. But I know for sure that in linux OS.. it can maximize 8gigs of ram..

will post later..

A 32 bit win cannot address more than 4096Mb of memory (ram+pagefile) and can not allocate more than 2048MB for a single process. Im not completely sure, but 2003 x86 server (and maybe XP sp2 x86) can allocate 6GB of memory, BUT cannot use this 6GB at same time. EG at first write first 4GB, then re-address the leftover part and write it. - not a good way to do things...

64bit win can adress up to 64GB of memory.

its simple, run defrag, encode video in background, run doom 3 or smth else and minimise it. and you will se how much mem can you utilise... i said that, 4GB

**Deathspawner** · 09-01-2006, 10:26 AM

Yes, it should use more than 4GB if you have it. I wasn't sure if that was just for the Server version or not. I had a full 4GB being used when I did tests before, but no program would use more than 3GB at a time.

Just like me...

**lopri** · 09-02-2006, 02:52 AM

I tried 4GB on Windows Vista 32-bit, and it still recognizes only 3GB. (BIOS sees the full 4GB) If the 32-bit OS' limit is 4GB, why does it see only 3GB? Even for Vista?

**mat128** · 09-02-2006, 04:33 AM

Because you have the pagefile probably set for 1gig.
4gb limit is ram + pagefile combined.

**lopri** · 09-03-2006, 12:24 AM

Ah.. Thanks. So if I set the pagefile to zero (I know it will still be there, however) then it will show the full 4 GB? I will try it out.
