ECM with 3GB memory requirement

[yoyo]

I didn't wrote that every ECM requires 4 GB.
The memory consumption is estimated different for different ecm's.
So there are also ECM which require less.

How do I target the ECM P2 applications in an app_config.xml? I am stuck in a situation where BOINC tried to run 12 of those WUs, filling up my 16 GB RAM completely and making my PC unusable. I'd like to limit <max_concurrent> to 6, but can't seem to find the correct syntax to tarket the applications.

16 GB allows only 1 WU ,or max 2

Thanks! I currently run 3 of those WUs perfectly fine. A 4th may be possible, too, but then the RAM would be quite full. This is when using the machine normally otherwise, with lots of browser tabs open and other programs running. With everything closed, even more WUs may be possible.
