SH3D Memory Usage
I have another question. biggrin

Reading the FAQ I found this:
and the installer version uses 1024 MB at maximum except under Windows where it's still 640 MB (this maximum is displayed in the About dialog box). For the installer version, you can change this number by udpating the value of the -Xmx Java option, as follows:

Under Windows, create a text file named SweetHome3D.l4j.ini in the same folder as SweetHome3D.exe, write the max memory Java option in that file, for example -Xmx700m for 700 MB, then relaunch Sweet Home 3D. For a value higher than 700 MB, tested as the highest value under which Sweet Home 3D can run safely on a 32-bit Windows computer with little RAM,

I'm a little confused about this.

I run XP 32-bit with 4 GB of installed RAM (Windows only recognizes 2.8 GB due to having 2 video cards installed).
In the About window, SH3D says 1 GB Max.

So is my current max memory usage 640 MB or 1 GB?
