I'm having a tough time with Vue Pro on my one and only XP box. I've downloaded Mem Turbo and have been watching my memory while working on a 540 object, 8 million poly scene. As I work the memory keeps being chewed up until I have to recover it (this doesn't take long - half hour maybe less). I've tried the same scene on one of my W2K boxes and it works just fine - keeps returning memory while I'm working. Is this an XP thing maybe? What's with the handling of ram or whatever. Just thought someone may have had the same problem (I couldn't find it in previous posts). The XP box has registered ram that I've tested (dual xeon 2.2, 1 gig ram, ATI 9800 pro) and just dogs along. The W2K box is dual 1 gig, 1 gig single density ram, ATI 7000 and works like a champ. maybe its time to dump XP (which I don't like anyway. Ideas appreciated. Thanks Bot
