FWIW, when I used the 4Gb patch on SH4.exe, I noticed that the game's RAM use still didn't go above 1.6 GB, even though I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and have RAM to spare when running SH4. So I don't know why SH4 became more stable, no longer crashing near Tokyo Bay (which was where I was having a CTD problem previously). One might think that if SH4 were crashing because it ran out of RAM, it would gladly grab 2GB or more once allowed to do so, but it doesn't.
I had CTDs en Tokyo Bay, Dutch Harbour, San Francisco...After 4Gb patch, no more CTDs...Also I donīt know why, but is the only way to play SH4-TMO21-RSRDC for me.

I have W7 64 bit, too.

Regards.
