No your quite right. Any memory pointer in 32 bits has a max addressable space of 2^32 which is exactly 4Gb but windows must reserve some of this for the kernel and it uses 1Gb leaving 3Gb of user space for your programs. Therefore you cant allocate more than 3Gb in any one lump. Also a 32 bit...

Wow Ranger - never heard of a date like that before... hope it goes well ! There are many ways of seeing another persons desktop. The old timer is VNC which is pretty ubiquitous over all the OS'es and was used so much that MS either used bits of it or created their own kind. I cant remember...

It sounds like you need is some good advice on how to use CC. This weekend is iCon and as part of the large number of vendors attending there are a few CC workshops. http://www.fouruglymonsters.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=104 So register yourself on the FUM boards and reply to one of the...

I have 4Gb which is the limit of my motherboard. If you want to use > 2Gb in XP then you need to use the /PAE switch in the boot.ini and that gets you to 3Gb. If you want to go higher in Windows then you have to go to 64 bit processor, OS and application. 64 bit windows gives a max currently at...

I run one of my machines with a Manchester AMD dual core and I use XP x64 and I have never had any issues at all. I love the dual core and would recommend anyone to go dual (or quad !) core. As for 64 bit dual core capable software - my lil app went that way a long time ago... Its starting to...

No issues as far as I know - its just that older games are not likely to make much use of a second core. It will only get use if either a) you run more than one program at once - not likely for games or b) the game uses multiple threads which might be actively designed in modern programs to try...

Yeah, its happenin, im as ready as ill ever be and I'm running 6 demo events. Theres a few slots taken but plenty of spaces to fill. Everything you need to run in a demo slot for ViewingDale is right here Book a place by clicking into the schedule. There are about 6 FG demo / adventures being...

The problem is that once you have done your map in photoshop either a) it has an absolutely huge file because of all the layers required. or b) its not editable. For pure art you cannot beat Photoshop or some similar powerful art package but maps have repeating elements in them which very...

Since this posting all started with the iConvention VTG comparison chart. Why not sign up for a load of different demos at iConvention.org and try them all out there. ViewingDale has some 'high end' capabilities, has low lag times and does not use Java. Why not give it a try ? Its a free...

Your stills look really cool but your movie does not play in my firefox - I probably dont have the quicktime player installed correctly and in any case I use a different player than the normal one. So I had to make an html page just so I could save the link. Now I can play the file locally and...

Hi Yair, I write ViewingDale which I will talk about in a moment but if you would like to have a really great change to compare all the virtual game table software out there for free then pop along to www.iConvention.org and take a peek there. Register on the Four Ugly Monsters web site and...

Gah ! Sorry, should have read it a bit more thoroughly. There is probably some software about to convert but if you have 2 PCs you can capture the output from the sound card in one and use the aux in to record it on the other... Just need a 3.5mm stereo jack cable.

I'm not a rip and burn man so i'm not in my comfort zone here but can you actually burn midi files as audio files on a CD ? I didnt think that you could. Midi files are lists of instructions on how to play music. To keep it simple, the sound card interprets them and mixes up samples built into...

Scripts are text files that contain lists of instructions that are interpreted by something line by line and actions are made based on those instructions. In the old days the language BASIC was essentially a script and this has been modernized a bit with MS's Visual Basic scripting language...

RpgMapShare has some on page 10 of the fantasy maps. http://www.rpgmapshare.com/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=40&g2_page=10

I know the answer to this one. Your video playback is using a rarely used bit of your video card which is called an overlay. The overlay is switched into the video area on the graphics card at the point of the video stream exiting the card so the computer is not aware of it as part of the...

My opinion is still out on FF2.0 but so far I cant say that its any better but not that much worse either. I dont use the find options much tho. Anyways, I keep all the old installers so I have 0.8, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.503. Email me with which version you want and ill send it to you. Mozilla still...

They tend to state minimum requirements and since all software runs on one core then the requirement is for one core. It might still run better on more cores. You can tell if this would be the case by getting the task manager out (ctrl-alt-del) and looking at the Threads value. Mine is currently...

I think that comparing CPU clock speeds within a family is ok but there are too many factors and the situation is too complicated to compare across families or vendors. People got too concerned with absolute clock speed and the arms race has died down a bit given that it got to the point where...

Kinda depends on how you feel about gettin the back off and refitting. I would not advise you to go new as your requirements are so off the cutting edge you would waste a lot of money. Second user systems are being dumped at about the 1 - 2 GHz mark and those systems generally had about 256Mb of...
