bridge to figure out what to do. Many systems cause that high RAM to simply be ignored,
resulting in the loss of effective RAM. More complex systems will take the RAM that would
occupy that 3.5-4GB address space and re-map it into the 4.0-4.5 address space. The RAM
doesn't care because it's just an array of storage cells, it's up to the memory controller to as-
sociate addresses with those storage cells.
Of course, that only works if you're using a 64-bit (or 32bit physical address extension (PAE)
enabled) OS that can deal with physical addresses larger than 32 bits.
Once this option is enabled, the BIOS can see maximum 8192 MB of memory.

contains important information about the module's speed, size, addressing mode and various
other parameters, so that the motherboard memory controller (chipset) can better access the
memory device.
