windows記憶體管理初探

先介紹一些名詞：

Physical Address Extension (PAE) ： 一些x86處理器的屬性，使得處理器可以訪問超過4G的記憶體。x86處理器加了一些地址線，所以使用PAE後就可以

Comparing PAE and other Large Memory Support

PAE, 4-gigabyte tuning (4GT), and Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) serve different purposes and can be used independently of each other:

• PAE allows the operating system to access and use more than 4 GB of physical memory.
• 4GT increases the portion of the virtual address space that is available to a process from 2 GB to up to 3 GB.
• AWE is a set of APIs that allows a process to allocate nonpaged physical memory and then dynamically map portions of this memory into the virtual address space of the process.
