I’m going on the advice of my Apple registered reseller not a 3DS Max user because I’m required to do so.

Nothings ever easy is it.

I hate it when that happens. Somebody in authority disagreeing with me is frustrating when I'm always right.

(I have a Mac with Bootcamp and Windows installed and I've brought it in for service - a broken hard drive actually - and the only thing they couldn't do for me was recover the Windows partition, but they were quite happy to replace the hard drive.)

Still no progress on the 64 thing...

But is this a memory issue at all??

When using max and doing test renders its crashing alot. But render frames or irr maps through backburner and it flies, rendering each frame in around one min. Which makes me think its something to do with max memory management

Dynamic memory limit set to 1000mb in vray system settings...
