if zandronum is 32bits, how can it load more than 1,7gb of ram? I was doing a test software that was Always crashing on malloc, and I discovered that there's a limit on 32bits software that you can use only 1,7gb of ram for it, but then, I remembred that zandronum can actually use all of my ram,so, wtf does zandronum to use more than 1,7gb of ram O_o

If true, then the program could be using using a flag[
1]. Nothing to be concerned over; if you're using 32bit OS then you'll just have to settle with PAE.

Who told you that? A 32-bit system has 4GB address space. What are you running to make it use 1.7GB anyway?

Read the tiger link and you'll understand where this magic number came from... Also, thanks tiger for the reply
