Hello
We bought new computer in our office with following components
CPU intel Core 2 Quadr Q8300
M/B GA-P31-S3G
Geoforce 9500GT 1024 Mb
DDR2 2048 Mb 800
HDD 320GB SATA
when we put ArchiCAd project in computer and try to render it, after working some time we get message "Not enaugt memory to render the model" and it stops rendering we get empty white page.

What can be wrong? what should we change to make Archicad work properly on that computer? When we try to render same project on other compiuter that is much weaker it renders without any problem.
We work in ArchiCAD 12
any idea will be very helpful, eagarly waitting for any suugestions for our problem to solve
Thank you for your time

Could be bad RAM. Or do those lesser machines happen to have more than 2GB?

You can try running Performance Monitor (is that the right name?) to watch the RAM usage.

Sometimes the area selected is too large for the rendering. Use the heavy marque to narrow your focus. Or, the pixels may be set too large. Change the setting to inches and go for a smaller rendering size, maybe 11x17 inches to start. Also, use the heavy marque to try smaller portions of the model to see if there is another problem with your model before rendering the entire model.
