madcow12 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So ok... I've been using IncreaseUserVA 3072 on by win 7 32bit, which was built for a 64bit with 8 gig of ram, but had to use 32 bit OS because my supplier forgot my 64 bit os CD, and lately i've been having lots of CTD and i solved the overheating part and monitoring skyrim performance showed me that it was more of a memory problem. so my question is this: what happens if you type in 4096 instead of 3072? will it change or affect anything? any risks regarding?

HeyYou Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 32 bit O/S only has 4gb of address space allocatable. Some is used by the O/S, some is used by whatever VRam you have, what's left, is "usable memory", generally around 3.2gb. Doesn't matter if you have 40 gb installed, that is ALL you will ever get. (on a 32 bit O/S) If you convince some program that it should try and use more than is available. One of two things will happen, it will either ignore it, and just use what is available, or, it will choke on it, and crash. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
