    How can I launch Powder Toy with more RAM? I'd really like to know. Would it be a .bat file?

     

    My specs:

    64 bit - Windows 7

    AMD FX Quad Core 3.80GHz

    16 GB RAM

    AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series

    You won't really need more RAM for Powder Toy. It takes up like 100 MB at max.
    What you do have to consider that TPT only runs on two threads (and the second one is for Newtonian Gravity) so you can only use a single core for that. Turn off other games/processes.
    And, I expect, you got that from Minecraft, that it will speed things up. It won't.

    tpt can get as much ram as it needs, you don't need to give it more. That is only for things written in java that you may need to give it more, and for minecraft only when you have lots of mods. It uses about 50-60MB anyway, and it has enough.

    no, he isn't. the RAM thing was only that the program apparently took up all the ram. I should ban the user later today after I figure out if it's a virus (which it probably is) and have time.

     What GPU have you got... 7750 or 7770?
