xenophonz and others have been calling attention to "the memory bug" since receiving Poser 6. I wonder, is this an umbrella term for a whole host of memory-related issues, or is it one specific sort of lock-up or crash? I've seen that xeno is having trouble getting complex scenes to render, that makes sense. Is that the only "memory bug," or are there others associated with other factors? For what it's worth, I have 1GB RAM, nVidia FX5500 v-card with 128MB memory, 7000MB virtual memory split beween two drives. I haven't had any lock-ups yet in P6, including scenes with one Millennium figure and lots of props, and another with two Mil figures and fewer props. Could it be that having virtual memory on a drive separate from the one that Poser and the OS are on makes a difference? Mostly I'm curious to know if the scene size issue is the main one that people are having with memory, or if there are more that "the memory bug" refers to. Thanks for any accounts.
