I'm trying to squeeze out as much of my ram as I can.
The threads here have helped a lot, but I still have a couple issues
and questions:
[win xp pro sp2, 3.4ghz p4, 4gb ram]
1) I'm not clear as to the status of idlde being able to access the 3gb
memory
space (by changing the boot ini file to include a /3g command).
Can v6.11 do that? Is idl "Large Address Space Aware" ?
If I could get this working, that would be fantastic. I have not tried
messing around with my boot ini file yet.
2) I used the editbin program to rebase the dlls, and saw no difference
in the largest array possible. My best is a whimpy 940mb array.
Is there any way to figure out what is going on in my ram, to see what
dlls are loaded where, etc? Anyone know of a program that can defrag ram?
I've googled and downloaded several ram defragers, but they don't have any
effect on memory (in fact, they all see that I have 2gb of ram, and that
I'm using
0kb if it). I also came accros a tech article saying that these types of
programs
are just a scam. So anyone know of a real program to manage ram? Or at
least
look at the ram to see what is loaded where?
3) how are idl memory limitations under linux? Is it limited to 2gb, or
could
one access more memory than that? I am interested in both (maximum array
size, and total memory available), if I could have 2 arrays of 1.3gb each,
that
would be awesome!
One option I have is installing linux on this computer and dual booting,
and perhaps I could do
some tests on some of the other linux boxes around.
Cheers,
bob stockwell
