Hello, I am looking for a way to bypass three bad memory locations on my one ram chip. I have read about a program for Linux that can change the way Linux uses the ram and hence bypassing the bad locations or sectors.
Badram- http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/
I have also read about certain switches in the boot.ini file that change the way Windows uses memory.
/maxmem-
/burnmemory- http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/bootini.shtml
I haven't tried this yet, but for now I could put my bad stick in slot four and add the /maxmem=877 to the boot.ini
I have dual channel 4 x 256mg memory and the one chip has locations 876, 1004, and 1020 that are bad. If I'm correct, I can put that in slot four and it will only use the part before the 876.
Does anyone know of a way to spot windows from using those three memory locations, but still use the rest from that memory chip?
