WinXP Pro 32-bit
3GB RAM (not using /3G switch)
NX3 (3.0.5.3)
Reason I ask, I have one user that constantly complains about memory errors. He always wants to point his finger at the hardware, but I tell him he's loading too much. He is loading almost an entire vehicle BIW with some tooling and not using any of the light load techniques mentioned in the assembly docs. Plus, he's the only one of 3 users, all on identical machines, that seems to have this problem.
RE: UGNX Memory Limitations????
Note that the 3 gb option is only a temporary fix. If there is going to be no change of procedures, your only hope will be 64-bit hardware/software, but even then this will only address the memory limitations, but it will have NO impact on the decreasing PERFORMANCE one is also going to get as you continue work with models that takes more and more memory, even if you ARE running on 64-bit hardware. In the long run, while you can NEVER HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY (like you can never be too rich), proper use of the tools (taking advantage of all of the techniques and features that both reduce the need for memory AND improves performance) will give a bigger return and will lead to more productive use of the software.
