This will improve overall performance and let you manage bigger files.If you are a Windows Vista 32 Bits or 64 Bits user you’ll automatically take benefit of this new feature.If you are a Windows XP user you have to change one setting on your machine to allow the operating system to be also “Large address aware”.

2. Click the Edit button under System Startup to edit the BOOT.INI file.
3. Find the current boot entry, which typically looks like this:multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
4. Change this line by simply adding the “ /3GB” switch at the end :multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /3GB
5. Save and close BOOT.INI.
6. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery panel.
