box config: Physical RAM: 4Gb, Graphics card: 128 Mb
In the 32-bit version of Windows XP from 4 GB usually only 3.25 -3.5 GB of RAM are usable
boot.ini [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3" /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoff /KERNEL=ntkrpamp.exe /hal=Halmacpi.dll /PAE
to install driver from command line:
I have first edited rramdisk.inf and added line below at end of [DiskAddReg] section
HKR, "Parameters", "UsePAE", %REG_DWORD%, 0x00000001
devcon.exe
1. Download it on Microsoft Website : Link
2. Unpack the file, once downloaded
3. Copy \i386\devcon.exe to c:\windows\system32
run this command:
devcon install .\RRamDisk\RRamDisk.inf RamDisk
Ramdisk is created and default drive letter R: assigned to it BUT not shown in explorer.

@Echo off&SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
for /f "tokens=1-3* delims==\" %%a in ('dosdev^|find "HarddiskVolumeRD"') do (set DL=%%~a)
SET DL=%DL:~0,-1%
echo [%DL%]
dosdev.exe -d %DL%
ping -n 4 -w 1 127.0.0.1>NUL
dosdev.exe -r %DL% \Device\HarddiskVolumeRD
:__optional
setenv -v RamDisk %DL%
:__end
endlocal
goto :eof New volume R: with label RamDisk-PAE is ready to use. The driver auto assigned size of newly created RamDisk with "not used" memory = 447 Mb in test box used.
I use the RAMDisk for setting my browser cache to this area but you can also use it for setting the TEMP folder or other stuff there.
