+This setting was actually taken from the SOE forums.
+
+This will allow you to set a new maximum RAM usage. The default is capped around 750 MB.
+Note: 2 GB is the max, so don't bother allocating anything beyond that because the client won't use it.
+
+This setting will not make much difference for un-modified clients. BUT if you have mods, you will want to use that extra RAM.
+
+- Right-click the "My Computer" icon (Computer in Vista/Win7)
+- Choose "Properties" from the context menu
+- Click the "Advanced" tab ("Advanced system settings" link in Vista/Win7)
+- Click the "Environment Variables" button
+- Under the "System variables" section, click new
+- Enter SWGCLIENT_MEMORY_SIZE_MB in the "Variable name" field and amount of memory to use (1024 for 1 gig) in the "Variable value" field
+- Click OK
+
+Then in game, open the debug window with CTRL+SHIFT+G, the new value should be displayed properly in megabytes.

+For those seeking to resolve this issue in the source code without needing to adjust environment variables, you can find it in WinMain.cpp
+
+Essentially, the most ideal method would be to update the source to match standardized hardware.
+
+Code:Select All
+static void SetDefaultMemoryManagerTargetSize()
+{
+    int megabytes = 0;
+    MEMORYSTATUS memoryStatus;
+    GlobalMemoryStatus (&memoryStatus);
+    megabytes = ((memoryStatus.dwTotalPhys / 4) * 3) / (1024 * 1024);
+
+    // clamp it between 250 and 2000 MB in production, 750 in dev environments
+    if (megabytes < 250)
+        megabytes = 250;
+#if PRODUCTION == 0
+    if (megabytes > 750)
+        megabytes = 750;
+#else
+    if (megabytes > 2000)
+        megabytes = 2000;
+#endif
+
+
+    MemoryManager::setLimit(megabytes, false, false);
+}
