arcgis desktop - How much RAM can ArcMap use?


I am exporting 36"x48" label intensive maps as PDF. For urban areas, ArcMap 10 hangs or kicks back an error saying it could not complete the operation. I have a quad processor with 4 GB ram. I also increased cache size to 100GB and have a large pagefile size, etc.


Will increasing physical RAM to 6GB help, or is this a software limit to how much labeling it can handle?



Answer



http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/38343 seems to cover it. Basically, it's still a 32 bit application, so it depends on the process whether you can squeeze more than 2 gb of usage out. However, more RAM in the system means less competition for that 4 GB by all the other processes.
