I have read the complete thread about the /3GB switch and a lot of stuff on other sites, but I really would like some experiences from people with 4GB RAM in their machines.
When setting up a render task in the background that uses 2GB RAM, how much RAM is available when you start PhotoShop, AfterFX, another MAX session or a second render task at the same time ? If I start up 2 seperate render processes (MAX, Lightwave or whatever) how much memory can be assigned/asked by each process, at the same time of course?
Normally if you have 4 GB RAM and an application uses 2GB, the other 2GB goes to the Kernel. Compared to a system that ONLY has 2GB physical RAM, is there a performance hit just by having the 4GB ?
Does anybody know which applications will have problems by setting the /3GB switch, supposing your system is fully "/3GB"-compliant ?
Thanks !!
