peteed1985 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 If that 4gb patch thing helped so much was there any way to change the 4gb patch into a 6gb patch or more and would it help more than the 4gb one or not? I have 8gb of ram so figured i'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farem Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've installed the 4GB patch and it has helped tremendously. I don't CTD anymore. A 6 or 8GB wouldn't make a difference at all. Skyrim uses around 1GB (vanilla) so unless you have some HD texture mods or a lot of background programs running, you wouldn't need to allocate that much RAM.

I have 8gb of ram so figured i'd ask. From my understanding of what the 4gb patch/enablers do - no. I believe the 3gb (for 32-bit operating systems) / 4gb (for 64-bit operating system) cap is hard-wired into the operating system itself & how it reads/allocates/uses memory/memory-addresses/etc. So without being able to re-engineer the whole operating system (which is highly illegal I believe?) then we are stuck with the 3gb/4gb caps when setting LAA (Large Address Aware) on a 32-bit application.

Cool thx for the answer :) guessed as much but figured asking was worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
