In my computer, under computer:, it says Athlon..blah...blah..1 GB memory AND then it says Physical Adress Extenstion, what does that last part mean. LOL, i just saw it and was wondering wtf that was. Thnkx

Can you post a screenie of that? I don't see anything like what you're describing in XP Pro.

Sounds like he's running some form of 2000/2003 Server to see that function. PAE allows applications to address more then 4G of RAM. According to Microsoft, it only works on Intel processors as well.

lol wtf. Im running Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

 

[Ripper]

My screen shows the same. Didn't show up until after I installed SP2.

Maybe they included in Sp2 some form of 64 bit memory addressing to allow more RAM?

EDIT: I have an FX-53, so my guess is it only shows up with 64 bit processors?

No. To allow No Execute bit, you have to have the PAE kernel to have enough room in the page table for the extra bit. It's by design.
