More than 2 GB ram in Avid

If you install Avid on a machine with more than 2 gb of ram, you need to run a small application that makes it possible to use up to 3 gb of ram.
When you have installed you software, you locate the small program in the utillities foldes, under the foleder where you installed Avid.In my windows machine it is
Program Files/Avid/Utilities/3GB
When you run the it starts by asking you to set the amount of Memory you need
For Adrenaline with Mojo it is 2700
Mojo DX, Nitris it is 2500
Symphony it is 2500.

You simply type the amount you need, and press Enter and thats it.
