You sure about that??? I checked with MemStatus 2.50 tonight after killing all unnecessary stuff with EndItAll (running XP Pro SP2 on a system with 2gb system memory) and the peak system memory usage was 1975 MB!!! I think no matter how much ram you have, SH4 will eat nearly all of it. I mean, I was using 96% of 2GB, I bet if I dumped in another 2GB I'd still be at 96%. Not even FSX eats ram the way SH4 does!
