Using Large Address Aware for Gmod? - Garry's Mod

With my new lap top I get pretty good fps on gmod but it still crashes when using like a billion props I expect this to happen to any computer but with using a program like Large Address aware to expand the ram usage help the game run better? I have 8 gb of ram if gmod could use more of it would it let me do more?

[QUOTE=Wizard of Ass;33370738]I never got gmod even up to 2gb, so probably not. Afaik source is 32bit anyway.[/QUOTE] 32 bit applications have an upper limit of 2gb of memory that they can use, if Large Address Aware is enabled it can exceed that 2gb limit. I haven't seen a game use more than 2GB yet anyway but it could help some people in case of memory leaks and the like.

Also note that task manager doesn't show video memory used, but video memory does count towards this 2/4 gb limit.
