USERVA switch help

Postby jwenham » Sun Jan 11, 2009 2:42 am

How do I know the userva switch is working? I decided to stay 32bit for now and have 6gb ram installed. It was my understanding that with the switch I would have 3gb avail for fsx and 1gb for the os. After setting the switch I saw no difference in the amount of ram in my system properties. It showed 2.99gb before and after the switch. If I look in the task manager the physical memory shows:

Got it.  Nick, this system kicks ass! It is worth every penny I spent. You were not kidding when you told me to come out of the wilderness and into the promise land! I havent even finished installing all the goodies yet but I am truly speachless so far. I cant even emagine it when I put a clock on her. I am sooooooooooooo glad I went for the 940. :)
