Thanks very much Twinscrews.
SH5 is already large-address aware, and I had tried the /3GB switch before (which caused serious system instability), but checking your links informed me that I need SP3 to utilise it (hoping this fixes my CTD issues), and that IF YOU USE AN AMD PROCESSOR IT MAY CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO FAIL TO BOOT UNLESS A HOTFIX IS INSTALLED FIRST
See
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows...x0000007E.html for details.
Apologies for the volume, but I think this should be stressed.
I'll cross-post in the SH5 forum, so moderator's please delete whichever post you find least informative.
I'll post more when both are installed.

I wouldn't think of letting my CPU get anywhere near that, but most modern GPUs run at seemingly absurd temps (spec for max operating temp of that particular chip is over 5% more). I find the GPU to be more of a worry re ambient case temp increase than actual core or memory temps. And Furmark stresses the poor things *far* more than any game will, but is very handy to get initial overclocking info.
