Marble:

I hope the new version will help you along with your issues. You guys need to get out of your head about the whole "I have 100 Gigs of RAM" thing (exaggeration). VWD is only a 32 bit software, and is not even LAA (Large Address Aware), nor can it be rectified as such with LAA software (as Hexagon could to reduce crashing). So, you are not even using above 2 Gigs ever... end of story. If we could LAA VWD we could use up to 4 Gigs of RAM max.

The CPU (multi-threading) is the workhorse of VWD, and why some have it better than others in regard to running VWD. On my laptop, I only have a single core, so I max out at CPU multi-threads at 2. On my Windows 7 PC, I have four cores, so I max out at 8. Some people (such as Gerald) have 16 physical cores, and have use of 32 threads. This is where the power for VWD comes in, and the more physical cores you have, the better off you will be.

This might soon be a moot point though, as Gerald is working on a GPU version, so only time will tell. Maybe, I will finally be able to use all those Cuda cores I purchased my nVidia card for, but who knows?

Regardless, it is an awesome piece of coded software, and I hope you don't give up on it.
