Ferodaktyl Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I know this is a noob questions, yet i feel more noobish for not knowing So, i have a 32bit OS with 4 GB RAM installedThe OS says i have 3.2 usable RAMI guess skyrim, with the latest patch enabling the use of more than 2GB, uses the 3.2 GB the system recognize as usable, not the 4 i have totally, and any addition of RAM would be useless w/o changing OSalso what utility can i use to show me how much RAM is used during the game?

GomuGomu64 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 To check Ram usage, call up Task Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingenskirchen Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Skyrim -Elys- MemInfo but it needs SKSE if you don't already have it.Pretty nice mod btw, shows fps, max avaiable ram, memory usage and max memory usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferodaktyl Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 i am even more confused nowthis Meminfo mod reports VM ( maximum virtual memory) as 2048Is this VM the maximum ram the game can use or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarimae Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Virtual Memory <> RAM. Virtual Memory = Space on HDD to be used for swap-data. tip : Set it straight to 1.5 times of your ram, so, i woul go with 4096 MB in your case. To do so : Start->System-configuration ->Hardware ->advanced ->the first one on this page (from top). Don't let the System decide, give it from "4096" to "4096". This way the VM stays the same, which really is a little "boost" as all data written in there keeps written in there on the same place so far.
