It appears that there is a way to patch executable so that it can use 4GB address space on 64-bit windows (large address aware). I have not tested this, but it's been reported to work with KT and SU. 1 GB models have been rendered successfully. If anyone have a spare 64-bit machine with enough ram, it might be good idea to test this... unfortunately I have a bit limited resources at the moment.

4GB Patch

Great find, Pentti... 
Unfortunately I'm still working with computers from previous century...
No seriously... I don't think I've ever worked on a 64-bit 'puter...
I guess the most powerful 'puter I've worked with have been a dual core something...
The laptop I'm using now has a Intel Core Duo CPU, T9300 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 Ghz with 4GB RAM, running on Win Vista Ultimate SP2, 32-bit...
It covers my needs for the time being, but...
Well, well... As you know that past year - year and a half - has been really tough on me... As soon as I get some money I can spend, I'll definitely buy a new powerful computer...
(perhaps by then a standard 'puter will have 32 cores and terabytes of RAM... )

Looks awesome, Notareal.
Only I have 3Gb on my i7 machine.
I have 4Gb on my laptop, but it's only 32 bit. :wall:
Maybe Chris could test this and see if it helps with TWL or not?
If so it would be great to tell people about it who are hitting the GB wall with TWL/SU at the mo. (and of course with KT as well)

Don't know is patching KerkytheaEcho.dll & KerkytheaSDK.dll would be allowed by licensing, but as enabling 4Bb support is mainly a matter of linker flag (and some testing). It's worth to ask from giannis. I think there is a change that TWL might work fine even if SU is not patched.
Anyway, worth to try.
