Hope this helps some of you.

Steps:

1) Access cmd: Click on the Start Pearl > type cmd in the Search Bar > and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter (this allows you to run cmd in administrative mode)

2) Type BCDEdit /set PAE forceenable

“BCDEdit is a boot configuration editor for the command line. Using the above command you’ve just enabled Physical Address Extension (PAE) which can address memory larger than 4 GB. ”"

Here is the article that the above quote is taken from. Thanks guru3d.com...:clap: :clap:
 
Note that there are still some limitations. For instance, a single process still can't use more than 2GB. Also, I don't believe that PAE is available on Vista. Finally, not all chipsets support PAE.

But if it works - then hooray. :)
