FooBar Ram-Disk - Question for Peter

Peter,

I'm really enjoying Ram-Disk. I sent you a PM with some questions - but this is one I thought I'd add.

Any support for more than 4GB of memory? I put 8GB in my Media-PC, and when I load up a full DSD128 album, it gets to 4GB and drops the rest of the files with allocation errors.
Checking the Task Manager, it appears to be a hard ceiling at 4GB.

I really like this component, and I'd like to support it - I'm hoping you might have time for a small update?

Thanks!

32-bit apps cannot use more than 4 GB of RAM.

That's what I figured it was. I'm hoping I could promote some further development. I'm running Foobar2000 on Server 2012 in Core mode with as much stripped out of the OS as possible, and Ram-Disk makes a surprising difference at this point. More than the built in File Buffer oddly enough, though I expected them to sound exactly the same.

Neither of those "sound" like anything. You have been fooled by audiophile propaganda that full file buffering (and DSD, for that matter) offers an audible benefit.
It's only audiophile if it's inconvenient.
