- If you have a computer with 4GB of RAM or more and only have a 32 Bit version of Windows Vista 7, then this hack can save you the $100 if you were going to go out and buy a x64 version of Windows. There are a lot of OEM's that still ship 32 Bit versions of Vista 7 with computers that have 4GB of memory (and sometimes more), and there is no.
- Hello, I am running Windows 7 32-bit on a computer that has more than 4GB of RAM (10GB to be exact), but I understand that Windows 7 32-bit by default can only use 4GB of RAM. My processor does have No Execute (Data Execution Prevention) enabled and has PAE (Physical Address Extension) also enabled.
Windows 7 32 Bit More Than 4gb Ram
Jul 22, 2016 The 4GB limitation for a 32 bit OS is because there are only 4GB worth of memory addresses in 32 bits. The 32 bit versions of Windows server that had PAE used 36 bit addressing for that. PAE never worked on consumer versions. RAM drives are probably the only good option for unused memory on a 32 bit machine with more than 4GB of RAM. A 32-bit OS can theoretically use up to 4 GB of RAM, but 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 see a maximum of 3.12 GB. With 64-bit Windows 7, you can use the full 4GB RAM. You get better security with 64-bit Windows. All 64-bit device drivers are digitally signed, which means you will not have random crashes.
Windows 7 32 bit PAE Patch
A lot of people still prefer to use 32 bit version of windows 7 , but 32 bit version of windows doesn't allow you to use more than 3GB ( 4GB theoretically , 3GB practically ) of your RAM.
In fact there is a workaround for this problem on 32 bit OSes , it is know as PAE ( Physical Address Extension ) which already exists on Windows too but Microsoft has disabled it on purpose, my guess is to push 64 bit OS and some incompatibility problems with some drivers.
