2GB vs 4GB RAM for SH4

I just ran SH4 with the taskmanager on and it shows a usage of 1,6 Gb RAM.

I run SH4 with Trigger Maru in XP (32bit) with 2GB RAM and no virtual memory set. I have never run out of memory yet.

In Vista, you will run out of memory if you have no swap file playing SH4 with 2GB RAM. Even more funny....I tested same computer with 64-bit Vista with 4GB RAM available to Vista, if you disable your swap file, you will still run out of memory.

Vista is the most RAM hungry OS to date
