RAM usage concerns

Hey guys,

I have my setup on the go now but have another issue...

I have Ripjaw 8 Gig ram installed on the Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit..but I also put on Adobe Master Suite CS4..

Will I be able to use the full 8gigs included on these programs or because they are 32bit applications be limited to 4gigs (assuming I use that much anyway?)

cheers, RTJ

I think the only time you use those 8gb is when rendering

Yep, 4GB to each 32 bit application (2^32 bytes) maximum. On a real 32 bit system it is usually less than that, as the entire system needs to survive on 4GB (unless you have PAE :-)

)
