| Subject | st: Memory usage in Stata 11 and 12 |
| Date | Fri, 29 Jul 2011 09:03:23 +0200 |
I found 1 MB of memory laying around at home and upgraded my laptop Lenovo T400 from 2 GB to 3 GB RAM. However, this did not have any effect on the available memory for Stata11. I could adress 1200 MB both before and after the upgrade. I am using Windows XP 32-bit. Is there any utility for windows that can help me find a way to make more room for Stata? I know that I can use msconfig to block out some processes, but it is difficult to know what processes that is not necessary. I would rather have a utility that can decide where the processes are loaded. Another possibility would be to load Stata early during the boot process. Is that possible? I have also had the experience that Stata had less memory available after upgrading from Stata 9 to Stata 11. I wonder if Stata 12 is more efficient in memory usage? If I upgrade will I have more, or less, memory available for data, or does Stata still need uninterrupetd memoryblocks?
