Do I need any configuration adding 4 GB more to be total of 8GB?
Hello all,
I running AE CS3 on Vista 64-Bit with 4GB and I’m planning on adding 4GB more to be total of 8GB.
Do I need to confogure anything to add 4GB more or is it just as simple as adding the memory sticks in?Thanks for your help.

Nope, just plunk em in! You’re already on vista 64 so you should be fine.
A single application (like AE) will still only be able to address a max of 4GB at a time though.

really? AE can only address 4GB max?
Then, what’s the point of adding 4 more?
I was mainly trying to speed up the AE though.Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hello again,
Does anyone know if I can use 8gm Ram on AE CS3?
I just added 4 more to be total of 8GB on my
Intel Xeon CPU 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
64-bitAE CS3 still sees the 4 gb only when I render.
I’m trying to render quicktime with Sorenson 3.
Do I have to render multi frames to take adventages of all 8 GB?Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks. -
You must use the Multiprocessing feature in AE CS3 to use more RAM. Multiprocessing silently spawns a new background instance of After Effects for each processor you have, provided you have at least 1-2GB RAM per CPU core. This is how it gets around the RAM limit per application, by spawning many instances of the application and combining the efforts of those instances.
