Ram issues Silent Hunter 5

[Harcor]

Hi guys,


There´s one question I have.

Silent Hunter is recognizing only 2 gig of Ram, I have 6 Gigs of Ram.
Is there a way the game can use all my 6 Gigs of Ram?

Thanks for your help

32 or 64 bit OpSys? This might help:- http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...4-5f61315ef636
Bottom line, if you are using windows for gaming, you should be using a 64 bit operating system.

My first thought was you were going to ask why can't my sub ram other ships...

Even though you only have 2GB RAM, the 3GB switch refers to _virtual memory_, not physical memory. So you can enable the 3GB switch even with 1 GB of RAM, it will help.

If you have windows vista/7, the more video RAM you have, the more your harbors will disappear ! (as paradoxical as it can be....)
That's because the video card memory uses the same 2GB of virtual memory as the game uses, so you will have less memory for the game.

As a conclusion, this will only avoid errors/crashes, and only works on 32bit systems (with more positive impact for vista/win7 uses).''

Hiya,

x64 W7 here, 12gb ram

The game uses what it needs that's about it

If you have plenty enough of ram then don't worry

Games as i say just using what it needs with plenty to spare
