yeah, I know, otherwise he had get another answer.

But no-one (but himself) stops him to install his good old 32-bit Vue on a 64bit OS.

The logic is:

if you run a 64-bit OS
   then if you run a 64-bit program: all is fine
   else if you run a 32-bit program which is LargeAdressAware (LAA): 3gb is the limit
       else 2gb is the limit (non LAA software)
else (you run a 32 bit OS)
   then 2gb is the limit
   unless your software AND your OS are LargeAddressAware, or made so

see my tutorial: http://www.main.artbeeweb.nl/?p=2429 

(which currently resides in the Renderosity Poser section. I will update it a bit, and republish in the Vue section).

The 32-bit Vue versions are all LAA from Vue 8 up. That's why he gets 3gb user memory from his 64-bit OS.

All the best

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
