Well, I don't know
everything, but I do know about that.
Unfortunately, the fix would be a new motherboard. The current one is an ASUS circa 2005, and while I generally like ASUS, this one doesn't seem to support PAE. For various reasons that are all variants of "I have other things to do with the money", a new mobo isn't happening any time soon.
Windows sees 3.1+ GB of the available memory, and there's enough I can carve off a 256MB slice to play games like this without missing it, so I do. I could actually do this with a ramdisk about 100MB smaller, based on the space actually used by this effort, and may shrink it for the "production" version once I have things like auto load on boot and save on shutdown working. Meanwhile, I'll settle.
