Theoretical you are right... normaly you dont have to install non 64-bit aplications and games into the 64-bit folder. But sometimes it helps a lot to do it. i have no issues since i made it. In the last official update with the release of the hi-res-packages they said, that they updated the memory ussage of skyrim. I made the same thing with everquest2 and i had much less problems then all the others who used standard folder.

Hi, I get a way to bring the memory use of Skyrim over 2.097.152 kb My last test bringing a memory use of 2.997.152 kb How i find that way: I was pissed about the new patch and nothing happen to the memory use ( cause i use a 64-bit system and have 8 GB of Ram avaliable ). And about my huge list of Mods i use, the crashes comming more and often. Next was happen, that i am wondering about the install-Dir. I installed Steam on my 64-bit Program folder ( problem was, that steam wont so easy on this folder so i worked on the Registry in the path of Steam. After Steam was succesfull installed on my 64-bit program folder i installed skyrim on it and see - more ram was used and it loads much faster then before. The only problem i cant fix are the game crashes they come sometimes but normaly i can play now some hours without problems. How to set up all: 1. Deinstall Skyrim 2. Deinstall Steam 3. Install Steam (install Path has to be %programfiles%\Steam and not %programfiles(x86)%\Steam) 3a. If Steam is correct installed on the right folder go to step 4. If not, go to step 3b 3b. Close all Steam applications and move the steam folder from "program files (x86)" to "program files" 3c. Open your Registry (Start -> Run -> regedit) 3d. search for all strings with "program files (x86)\Steam" and change them into "program files\Steam" 3e. Restard System and everithing has to work now 4. Install Skyrim 5. Go to NMM and set the Path of Skyrim new (open as Admin) 6. reinstall all mods and extras you like 7. DONE - Have fun I dont know exactly, why it runs better on x64 but it works for me on the best. Hope it helps for you to have a nice Day Mindfanatix
