Quote - aye :( so you say that poser will crash in render on a computer who has 2gb of physical ram ? (and to say i bleeded my veins on xmas to get a brand new pc for poser mainly, with this exact amount of memory :( does the 1.5gb alocation limit concerns both physical and swapfile combined ?

They will eventually fix this; At least I hope so...

No, the limit I discovered is absolute: 1.5 GB, no matter if it's pure RAM, or RAM + Swap.
I've had this problem before, when I had only 1 GB of RAM, but at that time I thought it was just a problem with Poser not liking virtual memory. But since it persisted after I've got me 2 GB of RAM (and even now I got myself a second computer with another OS version), I don't think there is any doubt possible...  :-(
