I Got Pro Tools 7.3 to recognize 2.7GB of memory- Here's how

[KGB2011]

If i am using 3 gb of ram and i do the /3gb switch what happens ?

[KGB2011]

I did the switch for Pro Tools M-powered 7.4. I don't know if it's working. I loaded up to 2,5 gb but i recieved an error message. Here's a picture http://www.zshare.net/image/63581202d416d99f/

I have a question for you, domen74, or whoever may be able to answer this.


I've been using the 3gb switch with great results on a dual-core pc w/4gb RAM......very obviously helps on the big plugins count.


But recently, BigBubbaJ (fellow DUC member) built me a new quad core pc w/6gb RAM......my question is, should I up the amount of RAM allotted to PT, or stay with the usual '3gb switch' settings?


Thanks for any help....... -Roy

It's working if you can get to 2.5gb of RAM allocation for PT. This is where it can begin to fall apart depending on the video card choice and a few other variables such as your choice of allowed services running. Careful tweaking of the OS and a review of the graphics card may help.

Always have a clone drive on standby.

This is only for use in a system with 4GB of installed RAM, the system needs some too.
