3GB Switch Enabled but 2011 not using it.

(OP)
Hi there.
I've turned my 3 GB switch on, and re-booted using the 3 GB option. When i start INV 2011 > Help > About. It shows that im still only on 2GB. How do i force INV to use 3 GB??

I figured the problem. When changing the boot file, i put a space into the text..
Problem solved..

RE: 3GB Switch Enabled but 2011 not using it.

I tried using the 3GB switch for several users for a while but reverted when we started having video problems. I hope that you have better luck.

There was an issue with 3GB switch and nvidia cards I believe.
No matter what.. If you need the 3G switch you NEED a new computer (with a 64 bit OS and more ram obviously). The time saved EASILY justifies the cost.
