Quick overview:

Games, video editing, HD movies, audio editing and many other areas of computer use are limited to RAM.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.

  1. http://wiki.winboard.org/index.php/Memory_Remapping
    "Users of 32-bit desktop operating systems currently have little benefit from this feature, as their operating system only uses 32-bit addresses and cannot directly address ram addresses above 4 GB. The BIOS now displays 4 GB instead of 3 GB. Windows XP, for example, only displays 3.25 GB even after memory remapping has been activated. And Windows Vista (32-bit) now also pretends to show 4 GB with activated memory remapping, but can also only use 3.25 GB."
