7-max

hi,

i am using computer mailnly for mathematical computations that use a VERY big amounts of memory, i.e 700 MB (solving matrices). I suppose 7max can help me a little. Most of the programs I write myself under cygwin, but there are also another in pure C/WinAPI.

Should I give more memory to 7 max? Can it be, for example 800 MB out of 1 GB?

And BTW: I don't quite understand, why simple "hello world" program or calculator can take 2-3 MEGAbytes of memory at once (without even using it), in spite of it's really low requirement, and using 64KB pages. Maybe you can point me a webpage where I can learn about it some facts?

regards,

Washuu
