I have had more problems with memory running Vue 5 Infinite than I had previously had with Vue 5 Espirit.  Although I had occassional crashes previous with a systems with less resources, slower processor, and less ram I am cautiously optimistic now since I've redone my Windows.   I will try to import lower polygon with lower res maps in the future.  I will also try to save my figures as VOBs.

Carrara, for some reason, does not seem to be plagued by these sorts of issues.  It imports figures with very high res maps without problems.  If Carrara improves it's plants and atmospheres in the next release it will really give Vue a run for it's money.  Carrara's plants aren't very real looking--okay for is distance but not for close ups.

Vue 5 Inifinite won't import anything from Poser 7, so I guess I will have to reinstall Poser 5 or 6 to use my Poser stuff in it.

I'd love to go to 64 bit, but not all of my hardware is 64 bit compatible.
