Quote - So selling computers with 4GB and Vista 32 bit installed is basically a scam? Lovely.
I can't afford buying a 64 bit vista an AFAIK the processor is a 32 bit one anyway, so would a 64 bit Vista run on it at all? (sorry if it's a stupid question, I haven't read much about all the 32/64 bit things yet since I didn't have anything 64 bit)
I'll look up the 3GB switch thing. Seems silly not to use as much of the Ram as possible :)
No it isn't. Here's what to do, besides the advice given. Go to Poser's general preferences (under the edit menu item). Now go to the render tab and select seperate process and press OK.
What will happen now is that if you have more then 2GB installed, the Poser scene will use a certain amount and the render will be assigned a certain amount as well, apart from Poser.
Normally if for example, Poser and the scene you've created take up 1Gb and the rendering engine needs 1.2Gb for rendering, Poser will crash. You crossed the limit. But if you tell the rendering engine to a seperate process, Poser will be assigned a maximum of 2Gb and the rendering engine will be assigned a maximum of 2Gb, in theory of course. This works great and allows you to render larger scenes that normally would crash, since both Poser and Firefly get their own memory assigned, instead of shared memory.

Food for thought.....
