Change application memory limit?

Post by Emacs23 »

Hello, I have an app (DxO FilmPack v3.2) that needs about 3.2Gb to be fully functional.
Is there any way to give this amount to an application?

Hello, as you probably know already WINE is not an emulator, or a VirtualMachine; It is a "compatibility layer", therefor unless this application is a JAVA application, in which case you have to tell JVM how much memory to use, it should be able to take advantage of the entire memory available to the OS.

Do note that a 32bit non PAE kernel can not handle more then 4G (including video memory) of ram (and I think can only allocate 2G of memory per application?).

In 32 bit operating systems, the graphics card can steal a fair bit of the address space.

Which OS are you using, and are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version?
(What does "uname -a" output?)
