Ian, <Don't know what I'd do without you guys> Maybe listen to your dealer <g>? Thanks to the guys for confirming all my work here. Check that network log, Ian, and BTW, 300M is a pretty small swap space on an Onyx (most single-use stations running Wavefront or Alias suggest that for a design station). How big are those maps uncompressed – 40-100M each? Anyway, check with Dustin – he has a new auth code to enable the renderer on the Challenge XL, also with 1 gig. This will let you check out some possible machine-specific problems, such as bad memory at that 700M+ threshold. I have discussed with Colin that I might come on-site Thursday (if not sooner), depending on the results of the tests on the XL. Perhaps I'll see you there. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
