4gb of ram

[Flats76 0]

Am i correct in thinking Arma will not work with 4gb of ram or more?

Works for me

If you have a 64 bit OS (I use XP Pro x64), and your motherboard can handle 4 GB, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I currently run on 3GB and it runs fine, but also depends whether your OS can handle 4GB, presuming your running XP, you can only use 3.4GB anyway, but with Vista you should be right to go a lot higher.

Questions like this go in the troubleshooting forum mate, atleast I think they do, won't be more then a few minutes till the mods move it.

Why wouldn't it work? I think a better question is: will it take advantage of all of it...

sorry if the section is wrong, i have a habit of doing it and i think it pee's off the admins/mods. again sorry.

im actually going to have 6gb (getting 4gb cheap, i do have 3gb in at the minute but im going to replace the 2x512, with 2x2gb sticks)

btw its OCZ DDR2 6400.

thanks for your replies

Should work but only game that comes close to using 4gb ram will be SC (largest map with max units ):P.

ArmA has a problem with Vista x64, 4gb ram and the 163.x and newer series of drivers (possibly only in conjunction with the Vista hotfixes for gamers).

You can limit your memory to 3gb by software, and play anyway.

Suma said he found the bug and squashed it, probably including it in the upcoming update.

it wont work with 4gb, Suma explained something to do with it counts it wrong and tells the game you have no memory at all.

I tried and had to take 2gb out until this 1.09 comes out.

I play with 4Gb on XP x64 ok. -maxmem is set at 1024, as I think 2048 makes the game crash.

Doublepost :P

Plus you dont have to pull 2GB out, but you can disable 1GB by software:

I use XP64 with 4GB and that's it. I don't use the -maxmem stuff or any switches beyond -nosplash and everything works flawlessly for me.

Do you play mainly online or offline? The -maxmem command improves things massively for me when playing Evo online.

Can anyone BIS confirm why larger -maxmem commands crash?
