I agree that I would feel be offended by comments like "Are you stupid". I already asked Sasquatch to be more defensive with his answers.
DATARAM RAMDISK DOESN'T WORK IN WINDOWS 10 CODE
However, this does not work very well, there is still a bug in this code and the temporary mappings induce higher effort in maintaining the guest RAM and therefore hurt the performance. This was indeed hacked for all these 32-Bit Windows users. If the process is trying to access memory which is currently not mapped, an older chunk is backed out and the new chunk is mapped.
it maps chunks of physical memory temporarily and therefore indeed it can provide more than 2GB guest memory per process. Well, As of version 4.0 VirtualBox even tries to do what you suggest, i.e. Without the Split3G option, the latter is 2G in theory and about 1.4G in practise for the VBox guest as VBox and the host OS requires some memory for maintenance.įor maximum performance it is best to map all guest memory permanently into the address space of the VM process. You have to distinguish between the maximum amount of physical memory which a host can use with PAE and the maximum amount of memory which can be used in one address space.
Please note that VirtualBox indeed can use all the memory which the host provides. May 2011, 05:14 Primary OS: MS Windows 7 VBox Version: OSE other Guest OSses: Fedora
DATARAM RAMDISK DOESN'T WORK IN WINDOWS 10 INSTALL
There are some 64-bit only copies, but I saw that more with XP & Vista than 7 (which uses mainly dual install media).Ĭost is now $0 for your upgrade from 32 to 64-bit Just backup just in case, and get your 64-bit drivers ready. Proof? You'll note at the store, there isn't seperate 32/64-bit copies. Simply pop it in, put in your license key, and it should activate. Any install media will do (if 32/64 bit dual install dvd or 64-bit install dvd). The only exception is XP, as XP and XP 64-bit edition were seperate. I found this out via a call to Microsoft recently with a work question. You can run it on Intel or AMD, and 32-bit or 64-bit. No offense, but your license (OEM, Storebought, downloaded, etc) is not architecure specific in 99.8% of cases.
