Has anyone reported problems rendering on Pentium class machines. We are
modeling a house with multiple rooms and things crash if too many rooms are
loaded. The machine has 80MB memory. The problem goes away when CPU cache is
turned off, but then things slow down dramatically. I appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.

Exactly what does the machine do? (lockup,error and continue,…)
Are you network rendering?
How much free space on your hard drive?

I encountered a similar problem with lockups recently. When I disabled the
cache the problem went away. I replaced the cache memory and even the mother
board, but the problem persisted. In desperation, I had the CPU replaced, and
the problem went away.
I'm not saying that your CPU is the problem, but it was for me.
