RamGauge v0.1a

• RamGauge is small utility app designed to illustrate some of the ideas put forward on the Projects pages. Yet another moderately useful "demo" application. ;-)
  
  
• RamGuage is currently available as alpha release v0.1a, and offers easy control over the SBLive soundfont static cache setting up to and beyond 1/2 system RAM size.
  
  
• RamGauge will only function on SBLive systems using the SBLive drivers.
  
  
• Download RamGauge v01.a here.
  
  
•  C++ source code to RamGuage is available upon request.
  
  
• RamGauge makes use of the DeviceConfigurationManager (DevCon32.dll) COM library for retrieving and setting Static Cache sizes. Closing the app causes the most recent setting to be saved to the system registry.

Description
-----------

RamGauge permits easy access to the SBlive SoundFont Static Cache Size setting and allows settings larger than the default 1/2 system RAM. 

RamGauge fixes the Maximum setting at System RAM size less 16meg, regardless of system total (eg. max for a 256meg system is 240meg)

Current cache size setting is saved to the registry upon exit.

Note that a system re-start may be required before loading any Soundfont(s) larger than the prior Cache Size setting.


System Requirements
-------------------

-SBLive drivers and must be installed and running correctly on the system.

-System RAM size must be greater than 16meg (duh!).

-This application uses Micro$oft C++ Foundation Classes (MFC). Most users will already have the required DLL files (MFC42.DLL, MSVCP60.DLL, etc.) in their windows\system\ directory.
