change total memory size in DSDT

[Pier25]

I had 8gb upon installation, but I added a third dimm of 4gb.

 

In the system profiler I can see the 12gb, but in chameleon/activity monitor/terminal I can only see 8gb.

 

After narrowing it down I'm pretty sure the probem is in DSDT.

 

So how the hell can I change those 8gb to 12gb?

 

I have already decompiled my dsdt btw

I have a similar problem. I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to get my win7/osx dual boot up and running but then once I add my extra ram (tonymac's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] guide calls for max of 4gb ram installed) win7 boots and recognizes all 6gb but osx crashes with this error screen

I feel like it might be a DSDT problem.

 

any help would be appreciated since I would really love to get all 6gb (and hopefully more in the future) to load inside OSX.

 

Thanks

Still trying to figure out how to do it...

 

Any good news I'll tell you!

You need to make a new DSDT.

That means removing you current dsdt, rebooting and making a new one.

OR

get the dsdt in windows and apply the fixes you used in the old one to that.

 

Posting this from my "First" Live Snow Leopard DVD.

 

I decompiled my dsdt, but honestly I don't know what I have to change to update my ram.

 

I tried removing the dsdt and rebooting. Nothing... the ram stays the same, and there are some minor graphic glitches going on.

 

I removed the dsdt file that is in the extra folder. Is this the one I was supposed to remove?
