![]() ![]() Please post your experiences of application limits/issues here.īut his question is eligible: somehow it does not make sense that it is available as ROM, because you have no chance to get something non-OS9 onto a memory chip while MacOS9 is running.Ībout the reason, that is probably more difficult than one might think. Until, the Mac OS 9.4 Update is released (that may take a while), we are stuck with a 1.5GB physical memory limit in OS 9.2.2 as far as the OS is concerned. Also, the idea of trying to load the RAM disk into the unused area between (1.5 GB to 2 GB) and reclaiming some of the wasted RAM above 1.5 GB was a bust. Built-in Memory (or Physical Memory) is 1.99 GB and finder shows Memory used per application and the System itself using 811.9 MB instead of 68.1MB !!! (this is obviously the overhead of the RAM disk and the wasted 512MB) Mactron would have a nervous breakdown if he saw his System use 811.9 MB (he gets upset if he wastes 1 MB), Now the largest unused Block (of available memory) decreases down to 1.18 GB (the worst number yet).Īgain, we can conclude that although the numbers are not 100%, a RAM disk will decrease the available memory and proportionately add itself into the Mac OS category as far as Memory used. ![]() Now for test 2: We create the maximum RAM disk allowed (and tell it to re-create on Boot up) of 256 MB and re-start
