Can someone running Vue Complete 8 on a windows 7 64 or Vista 64 OS with 8 gigs of ram
start a render of the scene fine " Peaking Through" which is on Vue 8 Extras disk>Scenes>Samples3

Before you start rendering,convert it to a 6000 by 4000 scene. Don't make any other changes. Then hit render.

I want to see if you get a " Your memory requirements for this scene exceed you your
current system resources"

You don't need to finish the render, I don't need you to hang your system all day for me.

On my 32 bit 4GB mem system I can only render this at 2500 by 1666 ( this odd number is
3x2 format that I like same as 6000 by 4000

So I'm trying to figure out if upgrading to 64bit and adding 4 more gigs mem will allow me to render this scene at 6000 by 4000.

My mobo maxs at 8 GIG total. Trying to avoid mobo swap for more gigs if possible.

I realize that other scenes will allow more or less size depending on complexity.
But I had to pick something that I would consider average for the sake of this test.

That's just a guess so if you have another scene from the vue 8 extras disk that you think would better represent average complexity. Use that and let me know if your 64 bit windows with 8 gigs can do 6000 by 4000.

I realize there are other variables. But just trying to figure out ( ballpark) if I want to bother with upgrading it. If there might be enough over all increase in render size to justify it.

If you have time let me know if you can go even bigger or if you can't render that big , how close can you get?

Current system
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
MOBO ASUS P5K Deluxe
1X Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT
MEMORY  4 GB Corsair DDR2 @ 800 MHz
OPERATING SYSTEM VISTA ULTIMATE 32

After planned upgrades
SAME CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
SAME MOBO ASUS P5K Deluxe
SAME 1X Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT

NEW MEMORY ( 4 more gigs) 8 GB total Corsair DDR2 @ 800 MHz
NEW OPERATING SYSTEM Windows 7 64 or Vista ultimate 64

Thanks for any help.
