Does anyone know the correct way to get rid of the hardware reserved portion of your ram? I've looked all over and have tried several things and nothing seems to make it go away. I'm on my third reinstall now and it just doesn't want to go away.

Thanks in a advance.

EDIT: It seems that by enabling memory remap win7 only reserves a very small amount of ram (1MB) although I do not know if that is the correct solution.

Why do you want to do this, the hardware reserved portion of your ram is there for a reason. But yes you can enable the memory remap to stop this.

Im not sure why this is done aparently for the 64 bit architecture, tell me did enabling memory remap in the bios make a difference to the performance. I dont think it would but i dont have windows 7 to test yet.

I don't see the point of having a portion of my memory reserved for hardware as I don't know why it would be needed or if it would ever be used. Most people I have spoken with don't have the hardware reserved portion so I would assume it isn't supposed to be there under normal conditions.

I didn't run any tests to see if there was a difference but it should be safe to assume it would only show the difference between having x and x+1 GB of RAM.
