From: Kimbo Slice on 15 Mar 2010 19:17 I know there isn't a x64 version of Visual Studio but is there anything stopping me from running my x86 version of VS on a 64bit version of Windows 2003? When debugging my console application, will my application be able to use all memory installed in the system (as opposed to the 4gb limitation that's in place on 32bit systems)?

How big if the program you're debugging!!! :o) Yes, I run Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 both on Window 7 x64 Enterprise. There's no problem with doing this. But no, a single process (devenv.exe) cannot use more than the maximum memory it can address as a 32 bit application. -- Mike GoTinker, C# Blog http://www.gotinker.com
From: Kimbo Slice on 15 Mar 2010 21:09 Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean that visual studio will use more than 4gb. I meant that the program I'm debugging *itself* will use more than 4gb. It loads a ton of financial data into RAM and crunches it.

In which case, your application could use the upper memory limit of x64 -- Mike GoTinker, C# Blog http://www.gotinker.com
