"System Out of Memory " - but is it really...? 2004-01-25 - By Kris

Hello!
I'm trying to render a scene that's 168MB in size. I set up a Swap file
that's 4GB in size and have 1 GB of RAM. I also have RamBooster running.
WHen I try to render the scene, I get "Out Of Memory" system boxes pop up,
usually 4 one right after the other. I close the boxes.
RamBooster is showing that the RAM percentage-used bar does
fluctuate. Also, the Swap file has never gotten over about 1.7GB in size,
IOW, not even half the capacity has been used.
As an experiment, I'm leaving the system running after having closed the
message boxes.
What I'm wondering is:
(1) why does tS generate Out Of Memory warnings when it hasn't used more
than 1/4 to 1/3 of the RAM *or* the VIrtual Memory (swap file)?
(2) Should I let the thing continue running in the hope that it will
eventually render after a few days, or is tS just dead in the water despite
the changes (according to RamBooster) in the %age of RAM used?
Thanks In Advance :) !
