- I keep my Virtual Memory on a 2nd, internal hard.
- I keep my Bryce scenefiles on a 3rd, external hard drive.

 

That sounds like a great idea. i try doing that too.. when I render.. but the amt of processes that seem to be happening seems mindboggling. And I guess too..if the render is taking time.. you tend to go thru fb, mail, radio podcasts ..and all that jazz just to keep your mind from not losing it, without realizing it does use up memory. Bryce still reads 2 gigs even if you have 4.
