    Hi Hitman,

    It’s not lack of CPU capacity thats crashing your machine, your problem is caused by your memory getting “clogged” up. The solution is to set your secret preferences to purge the memory after every 10 frames durring rendering. that should see you sorted.

    I can’t remember exactly how to access the secret settings but I think (not at the machine at the mo’) that you hold down either shift, ctrl or alt while selecting preferences rom the dropdown menu

    Hold down the shift key while selecting “Edit”->”Preferences”. The “Secret”-option should appear at the bottom of the drop-down list.

    Good luck!

    … and don’t release the shift key until you see the dialog box.
