Norton 360

[huwyngr Norton Fighter]

QC,

There have been all sorts of limitations over the years but I'm referring to a specific:

<< Vista 32bit can see only 3.5GB of ram total. The new sp1 only reports how much memory you have intalled, not how much memory you can use. >>

which is taken from a discussion on the MSDN website and the limitation is inherent in 32 bit systems.

A good practical account is: Dude, Where's My 4 Gigabytes of RAM? by someone I respect.

I was not relating any limitation to the present problem but it was just a trigger to find out which system the OP was using forreasons explained in the thread.

N360 sometimes would suck up resources on my P4, because it was silently removing malware. I would find out only when N360 told me that a restart was needed to remove the malware completely. Please run a full system scan w/ N360 and also with an online scanner. I have found luck with NOD32's online scan.

huwyngr,

Thanks for posting that article, its very informative.  I stand corrected.

Vista SP1 now reports the total installed memory in the system properties window, so if you have 4GB it will say 4GB even on a 32 Bit system.  Depending on the chipset and other factors, it may only use 3GB but it still is possible to use 4GB, which is the maximum.

Is this an online based game or installed locally on your pc?

I was referring to EVE, a locally installed game (and very large), but is multiplayer.

I just uninstalled the add-on pack and I will see if it does it again.

OK.  Please post back with the results.
