Hello,

You guys seem to have some crazy expectations.  Your computer hardware has 
limits !

Let me calculate,

8 years, 1-minute data ? 480 minutes per trading day, 250 trading days per year 
= 960K bars per symbol
One bar 40 bytes. One symbol 38MB.

100 Symbols = 3.8GB

For data alone.
===========

Now imagine that if you are running backtest you must have at least TWICE that 
memory to
keep intermediate results.

You have simplt run out of memory.


Solutions for your "problem":
1. Decrease number of symbols
2. Decrease number of bars
3. Decrease in-memory cache in Tools->Preferences, "Data" to 11 symbols
4. Run 64 bit version of AmiBroker on 64 bit version of Windows and have 10GB 
RAM installed

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
