BIOS SEES 3GB, AH sees only 2GB

Well, after I did this tweak, my system performance increased at least 50%.  FPS in the game went from 20-75 to 50-75.  75 being max because of refresh rate.  This was the last tweak I did when my fps improved that much.  This is in the turret of any GV looking into the forest.  We all know how much of a hit that takes when u have your graphic settings all the way to the left including range.  I also running at 1280x1024x32 at 512 texture size with 4xAA turned on.  

My system boot up also got faster by 30 secs.  My system use to take about 1min 15 secs.  Now takes about 35-45 secs.  So u tell me if it works or not.  None of this happened till I did this tweak.

Your HAL must be failing.

and U could be right or maybe it doesn't have that feature to detect it.  Who knows.  When I used XP smoker to tweak it, it should that it was set to 256, but when I clicked recommended settings it did detect 1024 on the processor.  I used xp smoker on alot of other systems and it read 0 on some others it said 512 or 1024 on both new and old systems.  Some were alrdy set to the size of the l2 cache of the processor.  Those that were alrdy set seen no change in performance.  So for them to say it doesn't work in XP is wrong or it might be pre sp1 for XP maybe.  Who knows but all I know it works on my end and a few other systems I have built/ repaired and such.
