Memory Allocation Help

[archer]

We just upgraded our computers to the following components:

 

AMD Athlon 64 FX-55

2.61 GHz

2.00 GB Ram

 

My question is what is the suggested amount of allocated ram I should have? I have it set at

points per spline: 25000

patches per surface: 25000

undelete: 1000

database: 100000

Toolpath: 300000

 

Total = 419.7 mb

 

When I try to backplot a toolpath, I get a warning -error allocating memory for toolpath functions.

 

I also cannot go any higher on the allocations without MC resetting them back to the previous setting? What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

I would probably make your

database: 200000

toolpath: 200000

 

I'd try to keep them even allocation amounts

Archer,

 

Try bumping them up to about half your ram.

 

The main ones to increase are your toolpath and database allos.

You wont get much higher that 650mb total. Has been brought up many times. Do a search for allocations.
