But it's true. I've had several systems, well-indexed and Rushmoreized, where less RAM made them run faster. You tilt the cost evaluation of reading all the indexes and filling all the memory with getting the job done. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4vbkncnwqvdu2ws4h2kzf33p9n0-gvmuqjluybhsex...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

RE: VFP9SP2 on Win7 error trying to maximize memory
Gotta leave that extra 32MB of RAM for the video card on those 512MB machines... :-) Point was don't bother with calling sys functions to optimize for different hardware when all the hardware comes with more RAM than VFP can use. Of course, I can hear Uncle Ted saying you need to test in your environment to really optimize it. -- rk -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions, LLC Sent: Friday, November 01, 2013 4:40 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: VFP9SP2 on Win7 error trying to maximize memory Oh what's in a number48000 vs 536870912.

VFP was designed in an era when the operating system couldn't use more than 2GB of RAM.
