RAM Limitation
RAM Limitation
(OP)
I know there are some other posts that have made reference to this, but I"m wondering if there's anyone out there who has had this problem.
One of designers is trying to open a file, and RAM usage peaks at just under 1GB.
Computer Specs:
Windows XP SP1
<BOLD>2GB RAM</BOLD>
P4 2.0Ghz
NVidia Quadro4 700
40GB HD
We've tried enabling 3GB mode and changing the Virtual Memory size, to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

RE: RAM Limitation
Other than those items, do you see anything in the Task Manager sucking up RAM beyond normal that would push your RAM back down to 1GB?

RE: RAM Limitation
Have you opened the file on another machine? If so, does it treat the RAM differently?

You may have a bad RAM module. Check that your computer is actually recognizing the 2GB of RAM. If it isn't try removing & reseating your RAM sticks.

Open the Control Panel, hit Performance and Maintenance, then System, then the Advanced tab. Under the Performance item, click Settings, then the Advanced tab, then Change for the virtual memory settings.
