Out of Memory insight

AnandTech has a new article on Windows memory addressing. While EQ2 is nowhere mentioned, an explanation for the <b><i>Out of Memory</i></b> crashes many of us suffer might well be found here. <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3034" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">A Messy Transition: Practical Problems With 32bit Addressing In Windows </a> Good reading! -Roybob

Ya, the 2gb issue.  EQ2 ran for 2+ years without hitting it so I don't think EQ2 really needs 2gb but there seems to be a memory leak which causes it to hit the 2gb cap primarily in the new DW/Neriak zones. Unfortunately the only fix would be to program EQ2 as a 64bit client then force everybody to get a 64bit OS or to fix the memory leaks.
