Re: Windows xp and ram??
how did you machine "slow down"? oh wait i know, you didnt read the documentation before setting it?
the switch changes memory allocation, by default windows allocates 1/2 the memory to kernel, 1/2 to user processes, in your case 2gb to kernel, 2gb to the rest.
the /3gb switch allocates 3gb to user, and 1 gb to kernel
/3gb allows you to use /USERVA switch that allows you to allocate as much space to user apps, giving rest to kernel. there is no way it slows down your machine, the only time when it can, is if your kernel is over a Gig, and that means your machine is in need of serious work!
other then that, if /3gb does slow your machine down, set userva to 2560 like:
/3GB /USERVA=2560
leaves 1.5gb for kernel 2.5 for apps
also i would say add a /PAE switch if you are at 4gb or more, i would be careful if you were under 4gb...
