- I've only used VMM- I don't have Gigamem, but my experience is that
- LightWave is exteremely unstable using virtual memory. It seems that most
- crashes are caused when a pagefault occurs while renderign, though it
- often crashed at random too.
-
- I managed to JUST get things to work when I turned off dynamic memory
- allocation in VMM, and set the memory uised for paging to 1 meg or so,
- setting the segment size to 1 meg. The problem is, frames which take 30
- seconds to render on the 12 meg system I'm curently using were taking a
- staggering 2 and a half hours...
