Intel P35 Chipset and Memory Re-Mapping

Static_Rage · 9 Sep 2007 at 12:14

hey guys,

i was wondering, do mobo's with the the P35 chipset still required memory remapping for more that 3GB of ram?

not present in the bios? so... does it not support more than 3GB of ram? or is the bios x64 and support more than 3GB by default?

Im running 4GB and P35 , what i mean is there is no option in the bios to enable or disable the memory remap feature in the bios

because they are different BIOS & afaik it's upto the individual company to decide what to enable or not - even then some boards within a mfr's portfolio may have it & others may not..
I don't think that the abit P35s have it either.

ok, so if they don't have the memory re-mapping option, but they support more than 4GB of RAM natively, does this mean they have x64 bios?

Not sure what you mean about X64 Bios

There are options to enable 64bit HPET for example

yeah i thought that might sound stupid, i just heard the the reason the bios doesnt support 4GB native is because its 32bit, like 32 windows doesnt... but i guess thats not true.

but in that case, why DONT they support 4GB+ native?
