Hi guys,

I've got a bit of a weird problem, I've got a Mac Pro 1,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 with a Windows 7 64bit bootcamp partition. The problem I have is that when I boot to Windows, it sees all available processor cores from my Mac Pro but doesn't see all my RAM. I've got 4GB installed which comes up fine under OS X but when I boot to Win7 it only sees 2GB. Has anyone else had experience with this? Could this be due to the 32-bit EFI of the Mac Pro 1,1 or maybe caused by when I installed Parallels?

Has anyone experienced this with their bootcamp setups?
 
Well if you are going into your bootcamp partition via parallels you might have the settings for the virtual machine so that it only sees 2GB, check your settings for the amount of mem you have allocated.
