The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can a 32-bit OS use more than 4GB of RAM?

Asked by sterlingdev in Microsoft Operating Systems

Hi,

I've been looking at possibly increasing the memory in my Windows 2008 Terminal Servers and have found conflicting information regarding whether a 32-bit OS can use more than 4GB (they have 4GB already). Some articles say that you can start the OS with a /PAE switch to make use of more RAM than 4GB. Is this true? I originally thought that only a 64-bit OS could make use of more. However, if this is true, how come that 32-bit 2008 Enterprise supports 64GB of RAM? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/compare-specs.aspx

Also, it mentions "sockets" in the first few lines of the above linked table, does that mean processors?

I would be grateful for your input, but please don't just post links. I need it to be explained simply!
