Re: Virtual Memory greater than 4096MB!

Hi

I tried to increase the virtual memory greater than 4096MB in a
windows XP x64 operating system running on AMD Athlon 64. It does not
give any error as such but warns to keep the limit less than 16777216
MB barrier. It successfully accepts the swap memory to be 10GB and
asks for restart. But once I reboot, the swap memory would be taken
as 4088MB despite the virtual memory still set to 10000MB! Even the
hard disk space would not be lesser by 10000MB but by 4088MB! Why is
this happening? How do I set the swap to the size of more than 4096MB
on Windows XP x64 system?

Well, /PAE switch is built for 32bit Operating System and would be of
no use on 64bit Windows XP. If I install Windows XP Pro and try to
use the /PAE switch, it does not help either as /PAE is supported
only by Intel chip sets!

Help is most appreciated and thanks for your time.

As there is no Matlab specific questions in your post you
might want to turn to Windows x64 newsgroups.
