How much memory will be allocated during execution of a single exe?

As I understand, In 32bit windows, each process will get 4gb of address space through virtual memory mechanism. Out of 4gb, 2gb is Kernel mode and 2gb is user mode. Our applications uses the 2gb of user mode. If I execute an exe (Test.exe) – how much memory will be allocated for (Text.exe) process?

Hi, The link which you referred explains the GC-heap generations. But it doesnt answer my question. You said that memory size is based on the application load. Can you please tell me how much memory space will be allocated to the process when i execute an empty exe? This will answer my question :) Thanks, Suresh

Hi

This is completely based in your application load and process.
