Before deciding to use the 3 GB feature, review the following considerations:
- This feature is supported only on Windows® 7 on 32-bit machines.
- When the 3 GB feature is enabled, your operating system has less memory space. Its implications on Windows are not clear, so be cautious with regard to the total application load placed on Windows while running in this mode. If you do not require the larger address space, do not enable this option.
- Some graphics card drivers may not work with 3 GB. If you experience a crash, restart your computer without the /3GB option and check whether upgrading to the latest graphics card driver resolves the issue. Visit http://www.autodesk.com/revit-graphicshardware.
