This is a naive question but here it goes.  I'm on a Mac 38 gigs of Memory OS 10.4.
I'm wondering can I go online or work in other software  while rendering something in Vue 6.60? I know dumb question.....

MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan Ver 10.11.6

I don't see why not - I often browse the web while a render is cooking (using Win XP and 3Gb RAM - I am so jealous!!! :) )

Did I read "38 gigs of ram"?

i see that, too, bruno.... can we have a picture of all this memory?  we need something to pray to.... or pray for, not sure which.

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....

I have 56 gigs of RAM in a machine at work. Too bad it's running Linux :-(

Here's from my finder get info:

That's the amount of disk space you have left, not your memory (RAM.)

I do other stuff all the time when I'm rendering. I find that it is easy to interrupt a render to screen though, so I render to disk. That lets me use the network rendering too.

Oh, OK, HDD space. I've got 406 of those.

it depends of the application you're using during rendering, web is ok, but using another CPU intensive application might be difficult since Vue takes at least 2 CPU cores. So just try and see.

It should be no problem at all.

Not sure how it works on an Apple but in windows you can also change the priority level of an application. 

( Ofcourse when you do that it will effect render times )

Quote - Vue takes at least 2 CPU cores. So just try and see.

With all due respect, that is not true. Here are the requirements for Vue as from the E-on Web site:

Macintosh- Mac OS X v10.4+,

  • 2GHz PowerPC or Intel processor or faster,
  • 1GB of free RAM (2GB recommended),
  • 200 MB of free Hard Disk space,
  • 1024x768 in 65K colors/16 bits (24+ bits recommended).

Windows- Windows 2000/XP/XP64/Vista 32/64,

  • 2GHz Pentium IV or better processor,
  • 1GB of free RAM (2GB recommended),
  • 200 MB of free Hard Disk space,
  • 1024x768 in 65K colors/16 bits (24+ bits recommended).

An OpenGL accelerated video board is not required, but is a big plus.
Multi-processor rendering is only available on all multi-processor OS X, 2000, XP Pro and Vista systems.

Now we all know that the more Power/Cores and RAM you have the better and that goes for any of the higher end Apps.

I would rather be Politically Incorrect,
Then have Politically Correct-Incorrectness!!!
