Windows badmem - Windows NT

Is there any way to work around bad memory spots in Windows by not using
them? There is a way for Linux [1] but I don't know of any for Windows.

The problem is at about 760 MB and I have only one Gigabyte, a solution
that simply disables all memory higher than this point would be okay.

According to my notes there is a Boot.ini switch:
/maxmem=nn nn = maximum memory in MB that WinNT will use
It works with WinNT; I have not tried it with WinXP

It works on WinXP Home SP3 with 512 MB memory using /maxmem=450
