There's got to be a simple workaround to this problem. I can't be the only person trying to use more than 4GB of memory at one time. Any application that bills itself as 64-bit has to address these issues.

Most scientfic programs, which I think Apple's 64-bit interfaces were designed for, simply malloc up a bunch of memory. Eventually people learn how large a problem they can run by trial and error. At least that's what my wife (a PhD statistician) does with her programs. Almost nobody but memory checkers would ask how much memory is available and try to grab all of it. I'm at least as irritated at the lack of full 64-bit support as you are. I maintain OS-bypass network drivers, and I have to wire memory from a anywhere in users address space. However, there's currently no Apple supported for a driver to do that. Cheers, Drew _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
