In either case, you don't have control over where it goes, although programmers have some leeway in how they define the function and it's need for memory Message 14 of I ask because in the mental ray rendering inside autocad you can actually nominate how much RAM the application uses. Thought there may have been something similar in max.

Message 15 of Thought there may have been something similar in max that's a different thing altogether I guess your the question here is why isn't my system using all the ram. From what I understand, the amount of ram required has direct implication on the complexity of the scene, the amount of lights and the kind of Global illumination you are storing, the textures you are using So if your max scene contains a room and 1 light with a piece of furniture it's never gonna use 16GB of ram.

But if you would be working on something like an animated movie with millions of polygon and hugh texture then you may need that. Sometimes it's not a good thing to have lots of ram on a scene it's just telling you that you need to start to size down your scene to bite size and start to work on compositing the result. Message 16 of Thanks everyone for the helpful insight. I have learned much about 64 bit OS.

Message 17 of On the render scene dialog, with mental ray set as the renderer, go to the processing tab, increase the memory allocation. Message 18 of And for any people out there that don't believe Max is capable of using a lot of RAM, behold my image I was attaching multiple small objects together mullions imported from Revit , about at a time, and as my undo levels filled up, so did my memory usage.

I think this is the most RAM I've ever used. Message 19 of You could give Dell lessons. Good post. I have seen it on my computer too. An increase of memory is always good and improves the performance of other computer or laptop! As came to this site, I saw this website below which also deals with the subject!

All four OSes show 3. Is 3GB memory is a lot? How many Software can I program? This should allow you to run over a dozen programs at once with little disk swapping. I heard that I need to install some kind of an update in order to use al my ram. Im using vista home premium. Does anyone know anything about this kind of updates? Never mind how much the RAM is. It is ultimately the Windows wins. Since Cakewalk has responded with a "we don't care" type of response- I'm trying to show them that I along with many others I'm sure would see better video support as a great selling point for Sonar.

I'm also trying to show them that they may lose customers that are forced to move to a platform that supports better workflow for video. Perhaps they already have?! This will also save me the hassle of having to purchase a Mac Pro which can go up to 32 gigs of RAM and already has three programs that offer everything I need as an audio professional. Now I'm not trying to start a Mac vs. PC war. So can Vista support up to 32 gigs of RAM?

What about XP bit? Max Output Level: In practical terms, it depends on the motherboard. But Vistax64 or XPx64 iirc will use up to G. And does anyone else feel my pain about video support- or do most here not mess around with that much? Since it is my full time job, I do it everyday, which is why I feel it is a major issue. Thanks, Nathan.
