Are there ways to tweak mental ray so my pc can handle this task?? was already searching in the 3dsmax helpfiles and gave a look at the processing tab in the rendersettings window, but didn't get any further.

my specs:
intel Q9300
8Gb DDR2 ram
3ds Max Design 2009 with mental Ray, both have latest hotfixes

Thank you for the post.
Hi guys, Im a newbie. Nice to join this forum.

thx shashanks! just missed your first reply, but yeah, i use a single viewport most of the time, as much wireframe or bounding box, FG is set to bit lower then draw. i render with memory limit set on 2gb now, see what it does. total use of RAM is 5gb now during rendering. so maybe another 2gb more to raise it to 4gb.
I really want to go into compositing software, but with a deadline next monday it would be a waste of time to get in to that stuff.
