What is the maximum file size supported for Studio 2015

Question

Hi, 
 While creating project, I received outofmemory error. Please see this below. 
 
 Could you tell me the maximum size of file that can be guaranteed to process normally? 
 
 Thanks, 
 Hiroshi

Hi Hiroshi, 
 
Thanks for trying. 
Trados Studio is a 32-bit process, so even if you have 8GB it cannot use it all. 
Unfortunately, I think you will need to split up the file before reading it into Trados Studio.

Hi Hiroshi, 
 
As Jesse mentions, Studio is a 32-bit process, so it has an effective memory limit. 
 
Someone else who was having the out of memory error in another thread mentioned that a 32-bit process can only use around 3GB of memory, and in practice should hit an effective limit at around 1.5GB. 
 
I do not know whether this is correct, but I have noticed SDL hitting what looks like a limit around 1.5GB when I edit very large files. 
 
I have never seen it rise significantly above this level -- regardless of how large the file is. And I have luckily never received the out of memory error. 
 
But it would be interesting to know how much memory Studio is using when you process your file. (You can see this in the Task Manager.)
