Hi guys A small problem here, and it might have been discussed before ....I've been rendering one heavy layout today ...a lot of pipes and round stuff. Tried it on two different machines both with 2 gigs of ram ...with two different results. The workstation, a Dell 530 with a Quadro4 900XGL and dual processors, 2x2,8 GHz Xeon on Win 2K SW 2003 SP4 ....and the laptop with Quadro FX Go700 Pentium M 1,7 GHz on XP Pro...SW 2003 SP3.1. The workstation chokes all the time and sais I have to free som more memory....looking at the task manager I'm using 1,2-1,3Gb.....think it peaked 1,5 something The laptop sais nothing ....it just render the damned thing and here I'm using 720-750MB Using the workstation I have all files on the server....using the laptop I have all files stored in a "briefcase" on the local harddrive. I have'nt clocked the rendering but it feels like they both do it in roughly the same amount of time Where should I look first....is this a processor issue or an OS issue....is XP handeling memory better than 2K, or is it a combination........or is it something else?
