If it's easy to move to Linux, give it a try. It might solve your problems.
Also, make sure that you are using the conventional memory use reduction
techniques, such as converting texture maps to .map format with imf_copy -p
-r, using view-dependent NURBS and displacement tessellation, and using
"large BSP" acceleration. Look at the BSP tree statistics and make sure
that the BSP tree depth is reasonable.
Hmmm ... it is if you know what you're doing. If you don't and you've not
much experience of anything other than Windows, it may not be so easy. The
main thing would be file sharing across networks. You'll need to get Samba
configured and running. You should also be careful about which kernel
version you get; check out the softimage web site for what they do and don't
support.
Not trying to put you off here, Linux is a great thing and for the most part
it works well. It's just that when it doesn't, if you're not sure what's
going on it could be a pain. If you do go down that route, post here for
help.
