Windows 7 32-bit with full 4 GB or 8 GB RAM support

[unawave]

The Russian Programmers Group "staforce" has written a small program witch removes the lock in the kernel of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

With such an unlocked (patched) kernel all 32 bit versions of Windows 7 suddenly can use almost the entire 4 GB of RAM, 8 GB of RAM - up to 64 GB of RAM.

The patch program automatically makes a copy of the kernel file, then removes the lock and integrates the new kernel file as an extra boot menu entry in the Windows 7 boot menu. Then you have the option to start Windows 7 either as usual with the original kernel or with the modified kernel. Details see here.

If it is what they show in machine language, how come it is 2.2Mb big? What else is in there?

A HEX editor to modify the kernel file ?
A program to sign the modified kernel file ?
A script to add an entry into the boot manager ?
A watermark remover ?

The patch is now available in English. Details see here.

Hi.

This is only of any benefit if you use programs which can access more than 2GB of RAM. Otherwise only the system uses the RAM above 4GB, so it does release some memory, but not as much as you might hope. If you have 8GB RAM, why not install 64-bit W7 and make full use of it?
