MTRR mystery (Announce)

Thanks for your efforts... By the way, on my c2d system with 4 GB RAM, MTRRLFBE works fine to enable WC in LFB. It's only on my i7 system (with 16 GB) and SandyBridge Intel graphics that it doesn't work. At first, it appears to set the WC, but then the entire system locks solid within 1 second after the apparent success. Removing all but one DIMM didn't help the problem. I can't get to below 4 GB total system RAM since I only have 4GB DDR3 sticks.

Tried all BIOS options, PCI latency, etc to no avail. I suspect BIOS memory allocation problem is affecting the MTRRs.

Isn't there a way to limit the upper limit of RAM detected by HIMEM.SYS or some other extended memory manager (QHimem, etc) by use of a switch? Can't remember right now, but I thought there was some obscure, undocumented way.
