128 gb ram on 32 bit systems

[Thelovefool]

Hello together,
i found a little solution how you can use up to 128 gb ram on windows 32 bit which i wanna show you here:

What you need:
1. A Hex-Editor Freeware Hex Editor XVI32
2. Windows WDK Windows Software Development Kit

Ok lets start

1. Download and install all needed Programs.

2. Open "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32" and copy "NTKRNLPA.EXE" to your desktop and rename it to "ntkr128g.exe"

3. Open the Hex-Editor and open the copied "ntkr128g.exe".

4. Search for this byteorder:

7C XX 8B 45 FC 85 C0 74 YY

XX and YY are placeholder which are different from system to system. You should find this string exactly 2 times.

5. Now change this string starting from 8B to

B8 00 00 02 00 90 90

7C XX have to remain how they are (DONT CHANGE THEM)

6. Check if there are no errors, save the file and Copy it to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32".

7. Since the Kernel file is changed its no more digital signed and windows wont start it. We have to do the following to make it work again.

8. Now we create a startmenu entry to change between the modified 128 gb kernel and the normal kernel.

9. Open up CMD and type in the following lines one by one:

dir C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

C:\Winddk\7600.16385.0\bin\x86\makecert -r -ss my -n "CN=Meine Name"

C:\Winddk\7600.16385.0\bin\x86\signtool sign -s my -n "Meine Name" ntkr128g.exe

10. Open up cmd again and type in the following:

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 7 128GB"

11. You will get a long number (GUID) which you have to copy.

12. Now we have to type in these commands one by one into cmd:

bcdedit /set {your GUID number here!} pae ForceEnable
bcdedit /set {your GUID number here!} kernel ntkr128g.exe
bcdedit /set {your GUID number here!} testsigning on

13. If cmd confirm everything you have to restart your computer and select the 128 gb kernel in the start menu.



I hope i could help a few of you.

Cypher plx save us

pff APOC SAVE US!!- teach this soul that this has been around for a bit and 128 mb of ram iss fkn useless for anyone running 32 bit, without the sense to buy 64 bit .

a PAE switch afaik has been around since NT ???????? correct me cypher- i just know for sure it has been awhile, and it aint anything "new"


The /3GB switch can cause some applications to have problems that are related to address dependencies as well or to a reduction in kernel space.

Bottom line: if you have 4GB of RAM in your system (or more), and you want to take full advantage of it, start using a 64-bit OS.

[Apoc]

Just because you can change what it SAYS you have available; doesn't change what it can actually use. It's an architectural limit. Not something you can change by editing a few bytes.

[Nikentic]

Kinda fail... heh

[The Saint]

Like Apoc said. It may read that, however, it will never be that. No computer, with the exception of super computers, can hold *** ram.

[LucasGod]

Oh, Running over 9000 WoW's would be fun, with that ammount of RAM, though.

[Nikentic]

This is so fail. Even with a computer that can handle that, you probably don't run wow good on it.

[mmhelm]

>Implying it takes a supercomputer to hold 128GBs of ram.

[Nikentic]

It just demand a hell of a motherboard or 4.

[LucasGod]

Even if that was possible for "normal people", it wouldn't be that useful, you would just waste most of the RAM.
