aloha! i just wrote a program which computes checkers endgame databases; i'm working on the 8-piece database. my PC has win2000 on and 1GB ram. i have noticed something strange: the task manager says that my application has used a maximum of 577'000 KB (i've forgotten the last 3 digits). but in fact, it is using much more, on some seed passes on the database, where it has to use the results in other databases, it needs over 1GB. i just upgraded my PC from 640MB to 1GB to build this db more efficiently, because the disk access hurts the performance, but it still says that the maximum mem used is 577'000KB - even though it would have much more ram to use now. does anybody have an idea why windows won't let me use this ram? cheers martin
