Please choose the amount of memory your system/vm has if it has run a bigadv 2684 and failed.
I know some people have multiple systems so you can choose multiple options.

There is another thread here for Successful 2684's and memory.

If you have a system that has 6gb of memory and has both completed one successfully but also had a failure vote 6gb in both places.

I think a relevant question to ask would also be how much memory is being dedicated to the VM for those like me who don't run native Linux. I have had between 6800 - 7500 megs of ram dedicated to the VM, although I have 12 gigs total.

Sure that is implied i would think? Im asking how much is available for crunching.
 
I did have one complete, but that was it. The rest failed in various stages from 1% to 99%
 
Honestly, the failed 2684s I've had that occurred in strings cannot be due to memory amount because they failed almost instantly, before the 0% came up. There was simply no time for the client to consume the memory. EUE strings are usually indicative of inherent instability that we have often seen with unstable GPU WUs, which can also occur in strings and usually evoke the 24hr timeout.
 
i7-1 = 12gb
i7-2 = 6gb
Allocated to VM/linuxrouter's image = 5gb

Have had finishes and failures on both.
Success for me is tied into leaving the VM alone and not shutting it down for anything.
Failure for me has been from shutting the client down (Control+C) and then powering down the VM. Upon a restart of the VM and the client, it flushes. I'm hoping that Suspending the VM solves this problem and keeps the failures from happening; will try later.
