How much memory does Google SketchUp take?

Answer 1

The amount of memory (RAM) Google SketchUp or any other design tool out there is using, is relative to the complexity of the model you are working on. Ideally, the more the better, but that is also Operating system (OS) limited:

- Sketchup is a 32bit application.

- Windows 32bit cannot address (use) more than 3GB or RAM (3.2GB, but w/e). Having more than 3GB (or 4GB, still you cannot use all of it) in a 32bit Windows Machine is pointless. Macs work a bit differently, so even 32bit OS can address more than that.

- Individual Applications are not allowed by 32bit Windows to use address more than 2GB of RAM.

- Windows 64bit, by default, run 32bit Applications (like Sketchup) with the same 2GB limitation, only that can be "patched", so each can use up to 4GB (64bit apps do not have such limiations, but SU is not one of them yet).

You can follow the guide in this site to do so:
