Windows Professional x64 Memory
(OP)
Hi All,
Is it necessary to use the /3Gb switch when running Windows Professional 64? Or can Windows figure out how much memory to use. I currently have 4Gb of Ram.
Cheers

It could be detrimental to the performance by actually restricting the OSs ability to access the RAM.
