I try to load a jpg of 17MB, but AI (CS4) is saying, that Memory is not enough for this Operation. 16Gb should be enough, boy? Who knows the problem? Thanks
A JPEG that has 17 MB, will be HUGE when opened. Illustrator always decompresses them when opening.
No matter how much RAM is installed, Illustrator CS4 can only use 3 GB, because it is a 32-bit-application. It's ancient.

What's in the file?
What OS are you using?
Do other files open ok?

When I load same the JPG picture as TIF (512MB), Ai is fine with it, no memory issues. It seems like the big jpg is problem?

Perhaps it's a bug. Perhaps it was fixed in the many years since CS5 was released.
