quizzy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Well I had to set the page file to about 3GB with 512MB internal RAM. That was because I use a very high shadow map size. Now my RAM is 2GB and I've set my page file to 1500-3000... You never know if the physical memory + the 1500 is sufficient. So I keep this safety margin.

isagreg Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 As far as I know Windows can address only 2GB of system memory per application (3GB in WinXP with boot.ini modification), right? Then, let's say I have 2GB of RAM and 2GB of page file, I render in MAX, don't have anything else opened and memory usage passes 2GB. Will MAX continue to use the page file in this case or it'll just crash? And is 2GB (3GB) limit for phisical memory only or it's a combined memory addressing per process? I just want to understand why would people want to have 4-12Gb of memory if Windows supports only 2GB per process? I think the only reason to have more RAM is with the case of having several memory hungry applications opened. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
