Sonar 32 and Ram

 Can a 32 bit version of SONAR, running in a 64 bit environment,  access all of the RAM that Win7 64bit OS accesses ?

    Thanks Scott.

    So, in other words, a 32 bit app running in a 64 bit OS, cannot access more than 3.5 ish gigs of ram?? (without Vienna).

    And, can the app access the full 3.5 ish gigs wherein any Ram needed by the OS will be a separate allocation?

    Windows (32-bit) can access a maximum of 3¼GB of RAM, but Sonar can only make use of up to 2GB of it.  Try opening Task Manager and watching the RAM usage while adding large audio files to a Sonar project.  See what happens when it reaches 2GB.

    win7 is a tad diferent in how it addresses ram
    technically you have access to the full 4 gig but the system obviously needs some
    minimum recommended for win7 64 is 6 gig
