hi,

i just updated my pc from 2 to 4 gig ram.

but the ts still uses 1.22gb as a max.

can i increase what the TS uses?

[Astorax]

Which max are we talking about?



Are you looking at the task manager's memory consumption to tell how much it's using?

[Cador]

no,



just looking at the bottom right of the TS

toolset memory usage, stays at 1.22gb

[Astorax]

It probably doesn't need more...?

sorry, to clarify, Windows will give max memory up to its single process limit (2GB for XP) automatically as long as your page file is set to big enough.



To check your page file, it's under computer->properties->advanced->performance->advanced->Virtual Memory (click the change button)



That'll tell you what your page file is currently set to. By default I think it's set to an initial size of 1500 MB and max of 3000 MB. You can change that if you want (assuming you have plenty of HDD space) to something bigger, but I don't think it's going to change the toolset's consumption any.

ohh... so i can´t use more than 2gb under xp

thats bad...

Thank you Microsoft.

because microsoft invented 32bit memory address constrictions, amirite? it had nothing to do with the Intel 80386 processor.

[Astorax]

And yet they could have bumped the limit for 64-bit OSs, but didn't by default. So yes, thank you MS.



Don't get me wrong, I use Windows, and I dig Win7, but leaving memory restrictions for 64-bit XP to 2GB per process even when they're no longer restricted by the 80386 architecture is dumb.

I think that had more to do with 64-Bit XP being more of a hack togeather job then anything else. MS seen a small demand and thought that OS's where going to move to purely 64-Bit. But that wasn't the case so it ended up being a mess.

There is already early word that Windows 8 is going to be 128-Bit OS.

What about under Win 7 64bit? Whats the per process memory restriction?  And why is Bioware so in the dark age they're running XP and 32 bit?  (My main OS, linux, has come out with a dozen new versions since xp was released).
