XFX HD6850 Black Edition gfx card
2 x 500gb western digital hdd (1 gaming and 1 os)

Nope, it seems only 1 module is either working or being used (if you actually have 2 installed). Anyway Win XP 32bits won't address the whole 4gb.

P.s. the psu is way an overkill unless you plan to get more demanding hardware.

I wouldn't be so sure about that Koden. I've got 16GB and AA has reported 1024MB at times when I critical. I've seen this from others as well.

True, doesn't recognise the full 4GB, reports 3.25gb but still that's not 2047 lol

The PSU is there for when I can afford to get double gfx :)

PS: Both modules are brand new (only 4 months old now) and have checked with memtest86+ and no errors.

Virtual memory is the page file in Windows. Have you disabled yours?

Look it up and make sure it's set to automatic or let Windows decide.

Hi, using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417 as reference my settings for my page file are as follows:

Custom size is selected ... initial size is 2046 and maximum is 4092 ... I have the options to set "system managed" or "no paging file"

I would do system managed. Page files aren't needed much these days. Although, you do have a low amount of memory, especially for gaming.

To be fair I only need 4GB. I don't do modern gaming. I simply have Flight Sim, OMSI Bus Sim, AAO Assist, C&C Generals, Stars - the classic game and my favourite Open Transport Tycoon. So I don't really need any more RAM :) Have set to system manage. Thanks Spanky

virtual memory is done over paging file. so activate paging file on drive C:
as normal, you should activate a pagefile on a fast hd, but not on C:. but in this case (aa2assist), you have to create it on drive C:, because aa2 is looking there for.
about the ram, i guess aa2 will only detect the ram in the first row. i have 4x4 GB ram and it do say 4GB available. on other pc i have 8GB with 4x2 and it do say 2GB availabe.
i could be wrong, but ...

btw: be sure you have enough space on your system drive C:

AA is a 32bit app, should only see 3.5 of ram no?
