Antonio, << WHEN I RENDER MODELS, EVEN MUCH SMALLER THAN THAT, THE SYSTEM STILL SWAPPS TO DISK.

Antonio, Does this happen when you first start 3DS, or only once you have been working for a while? 3DS "holds onto" memory once it has been used. Periodically, you have to exit 3DS and then start again to free up any memory that me be reserved. Exit 3ds, start again, and load the mesh that was swapping to disk even though it is very small. Does it still do it after you start up 3DS again? Shouldn't. -Brian
