OutOfMemoryException on declaration of Large Array

Question

I have to create a fairly large double array 12000ish x 55000ish. Unfortunately, I get an out of memory exception. I used to develop in Java and could change the memory sett

Answer 1

Well either you are out of memory (close some programs) or you're hitting the memory allocation limit (about 2Gb), this memory needs to be a contiguous block. You could use a 64bit machine in which case you'll have more memory available or I think you can make the application large address aware (googling will tell you how to do this if it's possible in this case).

Believe you add a /3GB switch to the Boot.ini file for the large address awareness.
