4GB of RAM on a 32bit Windows OS
Posted by Benny Chew in General Tech on July 27th, 2009
Most machines now configured with 4GB of RAM but continue to be bundled with the 32-bit version of Windows. You might’ve noticed that in this situation it does not fully utilise all of it, but here’s a simple fix to work around this issue instead of putting a 64-bit OS instead:
To enable PAE mode, you have to add PAE to the boot entry in the BCD file. Open an elevated command prompt. Type BCDEDIT /SET PAE ForceEnable.

Came across this site when I was looking to buy a book, it does a search across multiple online sites and points you to the place where you can get it for the best price. Got my book from the Book Depository which surprisingly does not charge for shipping even though it’s based in UK (and shipping time was incredibly quick!).
ipfilter (blocklist) update

There has been update to the ipfilter.dat source which I posted up before (have just updated that post). The previous source was from BISS but the people who maintain the blocklists now publish it at this site.
Whether or not the blocklists are of any use is up for debate, and definitely not something I’m going to go into in this post..
