Did the RAM limits change for Home edition for 16.05.2 to 4GB?

MichaelHigginson

Did the limits for RAM on Home edition get changed with SFOS 16.05.2 MR2? I'm only seeing 4GB after update. Still only showing 4GB after rolling back to SFOS 16.05.1 MR-1. I was seeing 6GB usable before upgrade.

    Hi guys,

    the limit is 6gb for home users.

    My own unit shows it has slightly less than 8 being available, but I have not been able to use more than about 2.5gb

    I have AP 10 and 55, a tunnel, 5 rules, some mail, IPS, ATP etc.

    Check how much memory is configured for your display and reduce it to minimum.

    Hi rfcat_vk,

    Have you tried upgrading to 16.05.2 yet? I'm having a similar experience to BrianHawkins1. I used to see a total of 8GB of ram 6GB usable, but now only see 4GB total 4GB usable. This seems to have happened after upgrading to 16.05.2. I only noticed because my average ram usage is around 20%. Now I'm above 50%. Also when I go to Diagnostics -> System Graphs, the chart is a little wacky now.

    It has to be related to the home edition, though I do not see any reduction in speed or performace. I just completed the upgrade of my xg 310 at work and it still shows 12gb ram as it did before.

    Hi,

    put my unit online. Upgraded to mr-2 (what happened to mr-1)?

    System memory usage went from 27% with version 1 to 38% with mr-2, memory installed is 5.36gb, so somewhere the new algorithm can't count properly.

    I have 2.xgb in use and 3.xgb free, but only total 5.36gb not 6gb. That is with all the anti-x updated.

    Previously my XG showed 8gb or close of ram.

    , can you confirm this behaviour on Home License?

    Several users are reporting that since v16.05-MR2 XG does not recognize anymore 6 GB of RAM. I am not able to confirm because at home I have 4 GB of RAM (not expandable).

    Thanks

    I am also having the same issue. I have 8GB and it is only showing 4 gb.

     

    If there is a palce to make suggestions I would love it if it could be increased to 8GB. Homes with a NAS and that do heavy gaming or streaming will use up the memory depending on how enthusiastic they (we) are.
