Neil,

  I have never seen a mem /v result where the available high process memory is HIGHER than the available virtual memory. Like Steven says, that seems not right. Do you have all settings in your BIOS that reference 'Above 4GB...' turned off?

Also - what motherboard are you using? A testlog file might also be helpful...

Regards,

I really don't think the Available virtual memory is accurate as it seems to bounce all over the place. Here with Dooble and SM running, I get close to the same value as Neil.
Code: [Select]
Total physical memory:     16,270 MB
Accessible to system:       3,502 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:   12,768 MB

Resident memory:              180 MB
Available virtual memory:   1,443 MB

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         306 MB
  Private high memory:      1,956 MB
  Shared low memory:          220 MB
  Shared high memory:          99 MB

I would suggest having a much larger starting value for the swap file to avoid the overhead of growing it, perhaps 1.5 GB and also keep an eye on it. Back in the day I had a system with 1.5GB's of ram, linking xul.dll needed VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=3072 or wlink would run out of memory. I had to be careful not to overflow the swap file as the system would die with a swap file full error once the swap file grew to about 2GB. It was on JFS but I assume internally OS/2 uses signed 32 bit variables. I'm sure back in the early 90's it was never expected to use so much memory and/or swap.

Just to be clear that has influence on the total amount of memory. This setting has todo with PCI MMIO regions that are will be remapped when booting ArcaOS in BIOS mode or in UEFI mode. It should not have an effect on the amount of memory you have. Or does it ?

Roderick,

  I mention the 'Above 4GB...' setting because it is something David A. of Arca Noae directed me to change when I had trouble with my new motherboard (B760 chipset, 12th gen i5 CPU) a couple months ago. No idea if it will help Neil directly, but is something to check.

Regards,

There are no "Above 4 GB" settings. This is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M90t Gen 5. All my memory posts are just after boot with very little running.

Fortunately the end user probably does not need dooble-QT6. I am successfully running it on some of my older systems.
