Ok you're saying exactly what I was saying so thanks? And Richard thanks for the link, but it only shows that Vista still has the 4GB limit. Either way thanks for the link it did provide me with some knowledge. Either way I guess this is pointless now lol. Thanks Richard for your input!

On 32-bit OS, each process can have up to 2gig of virtual memory, and the kernel takes the other 2. On a 32 bit OS with the /3gb switch, the kernel only takes 1 gig, and _if the process has the correct flag saying it can use memory over 2gig_ (large address aware iirc), it can then use up to 3. On a 64-bit OS, the /3gb switch isn't necessary. Instead, if a process has large address aware set, it can address up to 4 gigs of memory. If not, still 2. As PPM is a kernel level thing, specifying /3gb switch on 32-bit OS will reduce the PPM size, and (unless you have large address aware programs that need the virtual memory, have no beneficial effect) __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3495 (20081004) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com Sent Via http://www.gorillazsouth.com mail server. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
