Re: Addeing Memory In Poser 5
-----------------------------------
Hi all, I used to get the same error with Poser4, until the memory fix patch was made. I think the problem lies within Poser5 & not so much with your computer/s tda42. There are various thoughts & opinions on what is a good layout for Virtual memory is. I myself simply let the OS (Operating System) look after my Vmem (Win XP Pro). If you wish to go with a manual setup, a good rule of thumb is 2 to 2 & a half times physical RAM for an upper measurement of Virtual memory ie: 2Gb RAM x2 = 4096Mb Virtual memory Max. For a Minimum something around 10Mb would be good.

Your BIOS maybe the reason for the limit on RAM ie: 4x1Gb. You may need to update the mainboard BIOS or maybe look at buying a new mainboard that supports more RAM.

There are PCI cards that one can buy to add more RAM to a system that has run out of RAM slots, though I would be more inclined to buy a new mainboard & place 4x1Gb or 4x2Gb RAM sticks in it.

GrouchoCaesar, I feel someone may have misinformed you about RAM limits within OS'es. Windows 2000 was the first OS to break the 2Gb limit & just like Windows XP it knows how to use up to 4Gb of RAM with no tweaking involved. Thanks for the rain though :)

Hope this help you out tda42
