    Saw this linked too on another forum and instantly thought of you guys. Searched here and didn't see anything that mentioned it, but I apologize if it's been posted before. Basically 32 bit programs can run out of memory at 2gb when on a 64 bit computer. This modifies the program to use up to 4gb. I tried this on Corel PSP X3 which is notorious for hitting the limit since it has an issue with releasing the memory from a file after you're done using it. It seems to work. I also use CleanMem and that seems to help a lot as well.

    The author has updated the first post with the latest build of the program in case you're wondering where the latest build is.

    Hi

    Nice find and indeed this will come in handy when changing the address range of some 32bit apps when on 64bit, in the real world you'd have hoped that developers would not have 64bit in mind when creating apps.
