There are limits to how much memory your computer can use. If you are using the standard 32-bit edition of Windows then the theoretical limit is restricted to is 2 gigs, however realistically you are looking at around 1.6 gigs due to various overheads.

That 3GB switch is not difficult to achieve, but it's a trick. I DO0 NOT advise anyone to try it or use it, and I DO NOT take responsability if something goes wrong. You do it at you own risk!!

I do not think it works in home, only in XPpro.

Right click on My Computer
Select Properties
Click the Advanced tab
Click on 'settings' within the Startup and Recovery section
Click Edit
A notepad window will appear which looks something like this

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

What you need to do is add the following line:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP More Memory" /fastdetect /3GB

The result of this is that next time you reboot, you will get a menu where you can choose a regular windows boot, or a special version which gives an extra gig of memory to applications. Don't just add the /3GB option to the existing line, because if it doesn't work then you won't be able to boot at all.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not. And getting out of it is something else. In the worst of cases it means a total new install. So before y§ou venture in this: BACK There are limits to how much memory your computer can use. If you are using the standard 32-bit edition of Windows then the theoretical limit C4D is restricted to is 2 gigs, however realistically you are looking at around 1.6 gigs due to various overheads. You can actually increase this to 3 gigs (2.6 practically) by adjusting a single setting:EVERYTHING UP!  Don't forget your e-mail and your favourites!!!

There are no Borg. All resistance is fertile.
