How about with ARWINS?

Before this topic spans a few pages, allow me to tell you (and Z98) this: you basically agree with each other and there is little point discussing it further :) Maybe little clarification: If someone comes to irc "Hey, I have a problem, ReactOS BSODs when I <do something> on my 4-processor 32-...

Lets keep in mind that Window requires a SATA driver before it will install on a SATA drive. I've had to wrestle thorough the "Press F6 to install additional storage drivers" thing before. I wonder if installing the drivers alongside Reactos would help, since that is what Windows often req...

You're either not understanding me or not reading what I wrote. I said support basically constitutes "we know it works up to this many cores and we make no guarantees about anything higher." Nowhere did I mention any kind of lockout of cores. I understood you well and I moved on to a diff...

I downloaded the Microsoft .NET Framework for 32-bit computers to my Fedora drive from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displaylang=en I then copied it into the ReactOS drive but it still needs to connect to the internet in orde...

http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ usb specs and there free I checked it out before. Unless you found something in their documents that I missed, it has more information for USB device manufacturers and motherboard manufacturers than for us. Intel and AMD probably give more information we can use ...

I am not aware of any additional mechanism to allow addressing of memory beyond 4GB besides PAE. If you honestly need more RAM, get a 64bit processor and a 64bit OS. For ROS, I'd much rather we spend effort completing the 64bit port than try to work around an architectural limitation that is rooted...

1. The limiting that MS did was because of drivers. Enabling PAE, which is the mechanism for allowing access to more than 4GB of RAM, resulted in drivers written for 32bit Windows by third parties to start breaking. I personally have no objection to what MS did here, as it was not until the Vista e...

Since ReactOS is going for full compatibility number 1 would break so many applications, especially ones that talk to each other. Virtualizing the address space is what 64 bit versions of windows do, but again 32bit programs are limited due to compatibility. Blame it on Windows 3.1 True, however, f...

I am sure there are many things we can do that is better than how Windows does things, and without breaking compatibility. Here are some that come to mind, others may have more. 1. Memory access. Theoretically, it is possible to address 64 GBs in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode, since the processors use...

The upper limit is more than 4G . As I remember, there was some PAE code in ROS kernel, but it is now rotten, probably. So the processors use 36-bit addressing, the 4 gb limit is imposed by Microsoft, and that the true limit is 64 gb? Goodness! Just learned a few new things. Thank you! And then Mic...

This is a general assumption, as it is - incorrect.

Really? Many people use it, and in many different flavors. Not as many as there are Windows users, but still a significant share of computer users worldwide.

Sounds real nice. I need Com+ and MS gone putt it 6feat under... I think com+ is a real good thing. If I will made drivers in XP then I have to do it in MS developing stuff. Ho is this gone work in ReactOS is it same principe here a clone of XP or will it be a "open" whay to do it. Reacto...

I think current flash version refuses to install. Before that i was able to view movies on youtube (and other tubes) alas the sound was very choppy. What about a browser that uses its own plugins like Chrome? Chrome is about the most robust browser I've seen yet. (Well, outside the less functional ...

Mna. talks about this bug , not 32-bit limitations. So it is sort of a "wrap-around" bug. Yuck. I think even Windows has problems up there too under certain circumstances. I know with Windows 98, for instance, there are at least 2 high memory bugs. The first affects machines with more tha...
