Releasing RAM in 32bit Windows 7

I came across a small application that allows all installed RAM to be usable in 32 bit Windows 7
32Bit RAM Patch.

I now have a full 4Gig of usable RAM after running this patch

I know some of the guys reckon it is BS , but I have checked system - 4 gig now installed , also confirmed with cpuid , PC tools and memtest. So effectively a 30% increase in RAM .
Laptop now has more "snap" , so I'd say it is a tweak worth exploring.

If you have a i945 or lower chipset, you are still screwed. Even with a 64bit OS.

Plus it goes on to say you cann make it use 8Gb?

Erm, are they just patching 32bit windows with a 64bit kernel.....basically making it win7 64bit....may as well have installed win7 64bit anyway

(unless it was a OEM preinstall, which could come in handy)

If you go into regedit, you can get Windows to display whatever amount of memory you like, it is a registry hack, nothing more, no increase in ram and no speed increase, it is not possible.
