Windows XP Professional 32-bitNOTE: 32-bit ISE applications on Windows XP Professional 64-bit can access a full 4 GB of memory.
NOTE: The switch mentioned below might severely affect your machine's stability. Before enabling 3 GB support for Xilinx applications, read Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #328269 at:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328269The standard Windows OS architecture limits the maximum memory available to a Xilinx program to 2 GB. In Windows XP Professional, Microsoft created an option to support the ability of an application to address 3 GB of RAM. Xilinx applications have built-in support for this option. To take advantage of this capability, you must also modify your Windows XP OS to enable this feature, which requires that you modify your "boot.ini" file by adding a "/3GB" entry to the end of the "startup" line.
Please review the following information before using this switch:
