Subject: Re: Resizeable PCI BAR support V5

Hi Dieter,

thanks a lot for testing that.

Well, actually you only need to figure out how to enable a PCIe window 
above the 4GB limit.

Could be that the BIOS supports this with the ACPI tables (totally 
unlikely) or you could try to dig up the Northbridge documentation for 
this CPU from Intel and use my patch for the AMD CPUs as blueprint how 
to do this on an Intel CPU as well.

Fact is you GFX hardware is perfectly capable of doing this, it's just 
that the BIOS/Motherboard didn't enabled a PCIe window per default to 
avoid problems with 32bit OSes.

Regards,
Christian.
