[amibroker] Re: RAM Disk vs In Memory Database

["smw311" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tomasz! I knew that I could run Amibroker 32 on a 64bit OS but I was unaware that I could have both versions of AB (32 and 64) installed at the same time. I am going to switch to that config today.

My main problem still is that Amibroker 64 has a 4Gb limit on its in memory cache. I am a little surprised that I am the first person to have this issue. I would have thought there would be a number of people who would be interested in datasets that exceed this limit.

It is a much faster and secure options than using Ramdisk. My experience is that AB32 runs better in Xp64 than Xp32. I presume that it will be the same for Window7.
