    From what I know, BeamNG is 32-bit, and that means it cannot use more than 4GB of RAM. If it were 64-bit, it could, but I am unaware of how to do so.
    Also, I am not 100% sure of that, so don't yell at me if this is a complete lie.

    Why would you need to give BeamNG more RAM in the first place? Minecraft is the only game I know that has ever had a problem with running out of RAM unless the system physically didn't have enough. It really frustrates me that this game started the "Problems? Add moar RAM!" mentality, because in 99% of cases that's flat out wrong or handled dynamically by the program. As far as I'm aware, BeamNG will take what it needs up to 4 GB and then stop because it's an x86 application and can't take advantage of more than four gigs. Speaking of which, how high on the totem pole of priorities is an amd64 implementation? Not like it matters at the moment as the game does fine with 4 GB in it's current state.

    I am tempted to click that link, but I am worried that I will get some type of tracking cookie or internet Trojan, or maybe a scary gif.

    You can't download RAM XD
    some software can stimulate RAM but you can't download RAM
    If only you could...
    The only way to get more Ram is if you buy it from a store and put it in your computer, RAM is *stored in* a physical component in your computer.
    unless you can download physical components to your computer.
    At least thats what i know.

    As do I.......... Beam isn't like MC no need to give it more ram. It is either your cpu or gpu.
