    Hi,

     

    In Windows Vista and Windows 7, boot.ini is replaced by Boot Configuration Data (BCD).

     

    To enable PAE, you may run the following command with elevated administrator privilege:

     

    BCDEdit /set PAE ForceEnable

     

    For more information about PAE, please refer to the following link:

    You have to change the BCD settings. I recommend you to use EasyBCD to change the setting!

    Get the latest EasyBCD 2.0 Beta from here:

    Thanks again man!!

    Kind regards,

    You were running with PAE enabled already, and your machine is not any faster. 

    Presumably you have 4 GiB of RAM? 32-bit Windows operating systems, other than "Server" editions, cannot access RAM at addresses above 0xFFFFFFFF (4 GiB) even with PAE enabled. Due to conflicts with address space required for PCI or PCI-E devices, some of your RAM - apparently about 1 GiB - has been assigned to addresses above that boundary. To use it, you will need to install a 64-bit version of Windows.

    Microsoft is great!  There is nothing we don't like about the way they are bringing us into the future!  To Obama, ACA and Microsoft.  They know what we want, even if we don't think we want it.  Thanks for the Kool Aid recipe you enjoy so much DÐØŠ_€vader, just what everyone needed.  ;)
