3GB Switch Enabled but 2011 not using it.

[Clareok]

Hi there.
I've turned my 3 GB switch on, and re-booted using the 3 GB option. When i start INV 2011 > Help > About. It shows that im still only on 2GB. How do i force INV to use 3 GB??

I figured the problem. When changing the boot file, i put a space into the text..
Problem solved..

I tried using the 3GB switch for several users for a while but reverted when we started having video problems. I hope that you have better luck.

Thanks TigerGeek,
I've aslo gone back to normal mode, having the same video problems.. so frustrating. Reckon its my older machine (Dell M90)with the newer IV software...

Did you also apply the /USERVA switch when using the /3GB switch? 2900 is usually sufficient. Some systems need the little extra the /USERVA gives back.

There was an issue with 3GB switch and nvidia cards I believe.
No matter what.. If you need the 3G switch you NEED a new computer (with a 64 bit OS and more ram obviously). The time saved EASILY justifies the cost.
