SV: I'm sure this has been asked before...

I think this is the same problem as the one I ran into when trying to render some pretty large pic's. MS can't handle more then 2 gigs of ram/application.....in reality somewhere between 1,5 to 1,7 GB. I have 2Gig ram on both my machines and I hit the roof at about 1,5-1,7 >Gig ...then Sw tells me it doesn't obtain enough memory....and I almost taired my hair off before I understood what was happening.... many thanks to Edward T Eaton who helped me off......but that's the limit I believe

I've seen that same memory limit, 1.7mb, while trying to import very large IGS models (last occurence was with sw2001 or 2001+). A general Windows limit, I suppose. It doesn't seem that physical memory is relevant to the problem.

Yes, you can set the 3GB switch, and it really works if you have the physical RAM. I am not sure about the virtual memory, though - we will try to test that sometime this month, I think. Just remember - do not enable the switch without getting the patch first! XP, SP1 will not reboot at all if the /3GB modification has been made without also doing the patch. There was a thread on this back in October that gives explicit detail on exactly what to do.

As I mentioned earlier, Greg Jankowski's article will be address performance issues in this months Cadalyst, including this 3 GB switch. On a side note, the next version of XP (Windows XP 64) will be able to access 16 GB of memory on board and 16 TB of virtual memory. I remember the days when 640 KB was huge and an extra 1 MB on an expansion card was high end, back then people would have ask what GB meant, not to mention TB!

OK, I was mislead. He doesn't have an article in this month's (January

2004) Cadalyst and his online article in Cadalyst is about using toolbox on a network. I was hoping his performance list would be documented soon for all to review. I would list them myself in this newsgroup, but my notes were rather messy and specific for my needs.

Sorry for the misinformation, Keith Streich

Keith,

Could you post a link to the Toolbox on the network article. I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,

I don't even see a link to his November or December article. The printed issue says it's there, when I find it, I post a link.

Thanks, you beat me to it! Now if we can get him to publish the performance list!
