Hi!
I want to know how much memory can a Delphi GUI program use. Can it use whatever system memory which is availiable? for example, my computer have 64Mb, does it mean that at the time operation system and other software using 50Mb, the Delphi GUI program can have up to 14Mb to use? Can the Delphi GUI program use virtual memory on harddisk under Windows?
Thank you!

Each win32 program has a memory space of 4GB, so also a Delphi program. This is automatically handled by the Delphi compiler, and should never be an issue for most programs.

Sorry, my mistake, but it is still enough for almost all programs.
Thank you!
However, your suggestion about 64 Megs of memory does not really hold true. The 2 GB is after all, virtual memory, if it's backed by 'real' RAM, great. If not, there's always the HDD swap file. Remember, Win32 is virtual memory enabled!

I'm a student making GUI program for prof and started studying Delphi atabout one month ago. The reason I raised the memory question is that I was told, the program may be use to solve some very big problem (even if it is not complicated), such as the data of up to a million nodes for finite element method.
I have to say thank you to you and the other people in this forum, because I got so much help here.
Thank you!
