Large address aware

[superalanliu]

I just upgraded my ram to 8GB. I tried googling for a easy to understand and implement solution to enable the 'large address aware' and change the limit of application ram to 4gb but found nothing useful. They tell you to do something without saying HOW! T_T. I have 64 bit windows xp. Some straightforward instructions would be immensely appreciated!

Have you looked at editbin? This can be used to enable it. Just be aware that some applications might crash if they suddenly have memory addresses larger than 2G.

If the application is very memory hungry there is a good chance that the developer has already marked it large address aware.

does this mean I don't have to do anything on programs that use more than 2gb of ram? And, I can't 'force' a program to store more data in RAM and therefore speed up the program?
