Hi Maschine

There have been reports of a workaround to the PVR150 / PVR500 which is to make your PC believe it has a few Kilobytes under 4Gb. You apparently do this by going into MSCONFIG, selecting the "Boot" tab, selecting "Advanced options..." and setting maximum memory to a figure such as 4095 or slightly lower.

Unfortunately this does not really help my desktop as it has 6Gb and losing a few K is not too bad, losing 2Gb is a bit much. I guess at least my desktop is not my HTPC.
