It can happen especially when rendering 3D scenes, or rendering media output for video or music. This can make the program crash, it can make it loose functionality, or it can cripple the results. You may overcome this problem to some extent (note 3), by adjusting the program itself (note 4).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1. when you\u2019re not sure that your program is 64-bit, then it\u2019s most probably 32-bit<\/li>\n<li>2. see the <strong><a title=\"Breaking the 2Gb Barrier? (2\/5)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.book.artbeeweb.nl\/?p=112\">Monitoring User Memory<\/a> <\/strong>section in this tutorial<\/li>\n<li>3. by default, each 32-bit program is granted 2Gb User Memory. This can be increased up to 3Gb. That\u2019s it. In case you need more, you\u2019ve got to go for 64-bit programs and thus a 64-bit Operating System as well.<\/li>\n<li>4. see the <strong><a title=\"Breaking the 2Gb Barrier? (3\/5)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.book.artbeeweb.nl\/?p=116\">Raising Large Address Awareness<\/a> <\/strong>section in this tutorial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that Poser 8, Daz Studio 3, Carrara 7 and up might have their Large Address Awareness already raised by the supplier and do not require further enhancement. Vue has not raised LAA and does need your attention.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re running the program in a 32-bit Windows environment (note 5), you will have to adjust the Windows system settings as well (note 6). This comes at a price. By assigning more memory to user programs, there is less available for system routines. This may slow down some operations, like massive data transfers between disks, or over the network. When you\u2019re running a 32-bit program in a 64-bit environment, only the program itself might need an adjustment (note 7).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5. when you\u2019re not sure that your Windows is 64-bit, then it\u2019s most probably 32-bit. 64-bit Windows versions exist for: XP Pro, Vista and Win7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate<\/li>\n<li>6. see the <strong><a title=\"Breaking the 2Gb Barrier? (4\/5)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.book.artbeeweb.nl\/?p=118\">Enabling Large Address Usage<\/a> <\/strong>section in this tutorial. Note that Mac, Linux, and 64-bit Windows environments do have Large Address Usage enabled by default, so it\u2019s a 32-bit Windows thing only.<\/li>\n<li>7. see the <strong><a title=\"Breaking the 2Gb Barrier? (3\/5)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.book.artbeeweb.nl\/?p=116\">Raising Large Address Awareness<\/a> <\/strong>section in this tutorial<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The important thing in this is that\u2019s all about program and system settings. Running out of memory has NOTHING to do with the amount of physical RAM in your box, so increasing or decreasing RAM might bring performance effects (note 8), but will NOT affect the issue above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8. see the <strong><a title=\"Breaking the 2Gb Barrier?
