I watched the HP engineers accidently put 4.75gb of memory into our HP979,
running 6.0, and it worked, just didn't use the extra memory. I can't say
what
would happen in other situations.

Memory leaks are rare in HP systems, but certainly theoretically possible.
Using a program like Glance can show how much memory is in use, or perhaps
more
important, how much memory manager activity is going on.

If you have an application that runs for weeks at a time, perhaps it could
keep
grabbing more memory, but it will still swap out to virtual memory.
Everytime you abort the program (job) then the resources will be recovered.

If you gave us more details on what is happening, perhaps we could offer
better
ideas about what might be going wrong.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Memory issues


A couple of memory questions:

On a 995, the maximum addressable memory is 3.75GB.  Would having more
physically installed in the system cause problems?

Could software running on the HP3000 have problems similar to PC (ie MS
software) where a resource "leak" could gradually deplete available memory?

Thanks.
