Help about PAE ?

[chrbar]

Hello,

 

I've a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Intel Pentium M processor 1700MHz, 2GB DDR RAM and running Windows XP Pro SP2.

 

I thought my processor supported PEA, but it seems that not!... because I obtain a WMware bug 9297 (see below).

I'm not a computer hardware expert, I checked my processor informations with CPU-Z, could you help me and tell me if my CPU should support or not PEA?

 

Thanks a lot,

Chris

The guest operating system you are running is using the Physical Address Extension (PAE) processor option. For more information about running PAE-enabled guest operating systems, please consult http://www.vmware.com/info?id=28

You have PAE but it is disabled in your CPU, and that is because it don´t support XD.

Says 400MHz FSB Pentium M's don't have this, unfortunately (I have the same CPU)

 

I've tried installing OSx86 in VMWare, but I get that same error. Installs fine natively, however.
