Re: assign more RAM to apps in Wine

I have not seen anywhere in the configuration where more RAM can be assigned.

You cannot assign more RAM than physically available.

Your problem most probably arises from the virtual address space, limited to 4GB for 32 bit applications, which is occupied by both the OS and the Wine emulator, and only the remaining space is available to the application itself. It might help to use a 64 bit OS, Wine, and a 64 bit version of the Windows application, i.e. a matter of availability of such 64 bit components.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes I am fully aware of the RAM limitations of a 32bit OS

but that does not answer the question I asked...

I need to know how to get Wine to assign more RAM to the application...

I assure you that Wine is *not* assigning more than some pre-set fixed amount...with 3 gigs of RAM in the machine there is more than double the amount the application requires.

In a virtual machine, there is a setting for how much RAM you desire the virtual machine uses...but I cannot find any such setting in Wine...
but i'm sure it's there somewhere
