Memory vs Wireshark

[Emilio Honorio de Melo <ehm () cin ufpe br>]

Dear all,

Please, I need your help.

I've been using the wireshark to capture some data from a 3G network. I've
been face some problems regarding to RAM memory.
Here it is the configuration set:

- 8GB RAM
- Windows server 2008 64bit
- HD West Digital Black 7200 RPM / 64MB Buffer / 2TB
- Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T Adapter

I just can captures files of 200MB ~ 300MB large. More than this, I got out
of memory crash.

And when I process with Wireshark 32bit version (1.2.9), I can run with no
problem untill the Windows task manager point 3GB physical use of. If I run
the wireshark 64bit version (1.2.10), I got only 2GB...

Please, how can I supplant this issues? Or these are wireshark RAM
limitations?

By the way, the capture throughput is about 250Mbps.

Best Regards,
Emilio
