Re: st: ram memory: microsoft fix does not work

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

The hotfix resolves a specific problem which your machine/OS apparently did 
not have -- if you had the problem, you most likely would have seen maximum 
memory allocations below 1GB prior to the hotfix.  It is not a ram booster, 
just a way to overcome one memory mis-managment feature of Win XP.  Instead, 
you are encountering a fundamental problem with 32 bit Win XP.
