Happily, the newest official patch for Skyrim will allow the game to make use of up to 4 Gigabytes of RAM, as opposed to its previous ceiling of 2GB. This had previously been accomplished via the Large Address Aware hack, but that method had been blocked by a previous patch from Bethesda.

Johnny SweetbreadMeh, just means your rogue background Microsoft Outlook process can use 4GB of memory while your Mozilla Memory Destroyer can take up 8GB of virtual memory.

TrexThe 4GB mod has worked with all patches of Skyrim. I had to switch to it when LAA got blocked

MegatallicaIt can only go up to 4GB, The Build is 32bit, they will have to make a 64bit build for any more, how do you people have more than 4GB of Ram and not know that.

Not to Mention the Game Files are abit Over 5 Gig Total…. You Could load the whole game into 5 Gig Memory… and thats it…. more ram doesnt do a thing…

xHEROxuh…. I have 17 gigs worth of mods + 6 gig of bethesda game data. It would take all 24 gig of ram on my machine to load it all into memory.
There’s more to memory usage than loading texture files anyway.

Lebowski4, 8, 12 – these are all moot as long as we don’t have a dedicated 64 bit executable for Skyrim. Something that Bethesda probably won’t provide, considering the amount of effort it would take.

This is a very complicated game. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. And, uh, a lotta strands to keep in their head, man.

Honestly wtf? Its 2010 when they announce 4gb of RAM is the new maximum then i think they seriously need to pick it up, most people have at least 8 or more if they’re a gamer.
