PAT question (enabled/disabled)

[medo145]

I am wondering if pat is enabled or disabled on my system. I always believed it was because [cpuz] says its enabled. Then my friend was testing something on his machine with a program called [CTIA V 2.7]. He told me to run it on my comp and it said that pat is reserved ????. Anyways, then i used [Tw865] to change it, since on default when i ran the prog it said disabled. I ran [CTIA V 2.7] again an it said that pat was fully enabled, but then [cpuz] said it was disabled. PC Wizard also says its disabled. (Considering pc wizard and cpuz come from the same ppl, both progs probably get their info from the same source).

Who to trust? Anyways here is a pic so you guys can better understand what i'm saying.

Any ideas on how to clarify this?

the top and bottom are the results of disabling and enabling pat with the tweaker, i don't think there is an option to enable pat in the bios or at least i haven't seen one.

If you enable PAT with the tweaker software, you can be sure PAT is enabled.
The benchmarks will have increased, and if you ram is near it's pyshical limits of PAT handling then you may lose some stability.
