Hi
I'm contemplating Running Cubase 4 on a XP64 system w. 8 Gb and using VE3.
Cubase 4 is not yet 64-bit, so it can only use memory from the lowest 4 gb address space.
The question is how VE3 allocates memory from the pool?
If it just allocates from the bottom it will lead to a starvation of Cubase.
ex.
Cubase starts up and allocates some memory from the pool in the low memory space - next VE3 starts up and loads say 4 gb of samples
If this is done from the bottom the situation becomes something like this
Mem range
0-400 Cubase and other stuff
400-4400 VE3
Now you begin working with Cubase adding tracks, additional instruments and/or record - but for this Cubase will try to allocate
additional memory - but no memory in the first 4 gb is now available.
Is the above correct? And does'nt that render the extra memory useless in this situation?
