Optimal amount of RAM for Mac Pro


Recommended Posts

Christiaan, it seems your second query is also answered by Jeffrey's post. The accessible RAM is controlled by the OS more than by the app itself. I can verify that on our 4+gb machines, it appears that never more than 2.5?2.8 is allocated to a single application.

We don't, however, use Artlantis. Do they somehow bypass the OS limitations?

HTH,

My understanding is that 10.5 is a 64 bit OS, and that Cocoa applications written for 10.5 are also 64 bit so therefore they can address more memory (4 terabytes?).

i.e. VectorWorks' limitation is that it's a 32 bit Carbon app, not Mac OS.

To be honest, though, I don't really know what I'm talking about as I only pick this stuff up from reading the odd technical article here and there.
