Memory Limit

[pskdude]

Hello all,

Anyone guide me as to how many proxies i should have with a 32bit 4gig machine on the 3gig switch.

Im currently at 1million pollies with about 2.5million total including my proxies and sometimes max is crashing, my dyn. mem. limit is at 1k,meg. Does that sounds reasonable.

In my scene statistics it seems i get a little over 2k and boom max closes. I need to switch over to 64 bit asap. sheesh!

Thanks
Rg

I've found with the 3 gig switch that max starts to get very unstable once you go over the 2 gig memory mark. If your scene is crashing due to memory gradually bring down the dynamic limit until it becomes stable again. Also you can often render a scene via backburner that crashes in the interactive max since it takes up slightly less memory. You're right though, get on 64 bit asap - max 9 has been damn solid for me since that. When I get to my machines limit I get a virtual memory warning from windows and it's slow as hell, but the machine won't hang.
