Re: SH3D Memory Usage I do not know if this is Version 5 or version 5.1; but I'm using 5.0... Given that, from what I read in the FAQ, User Guide and posts here the max SH3D should take is 2GB of RAM from the system. But that is the max; if your system is less than 2GB (like my PowerPC G4 and G5 systems where they average 512MB) it only takes a percentage of the RAM it needs to run; I'm figuring about 25% of total RAM. This I find is more than enough to build a small to medium house. I done 2 and 3 level houses with 3 and 4 bedrooms, each level space at about 1200 sq ft on this set up. This includes a basement. I'll admit though, it does slow down for some calculations. It does not use the GPU or its RAM for calculations and 3D View generation like on some video games. In my case, they are ATi or nVidia video options with either 32 or 64 MB; PowerPC Macs were around from 1998 to 2008; my machines are from around 2005 to 2008. As for PCs, my systems are Intel Duo Core or dual CPU systems running XP or Vista, with about 1.5GB of RAM, though I do have a couple P4s on XP with 512MB to 1GB; and find them about the same as my G4 PowerPC Macs. |
