I think the "contiguous memory problem" can happen with 32bit as well as 64bit systems. Even if you have plenty of ram. Let's say you have 2 GB of free memory and the application needs to allocate only 500megs of ram, it can fail because the 1GB is of small chunks and all of these chunks are under 500MB. The more applications or memory intensive tasks are running and the longer you work with them, the more "fragmented" the memory will become. It can help to restart the machine and use only the programs you absolutely need. Perhaps more RAM can help to encounter the problem later, but I don't think it will solve it entirely.
Haven’t seen this for quite some time.

I understand this as ‘running out of ram’ (does task manager agree?) are you freezing the shapes? lots of dense geo, with lots of operations in the stack – sounds like you’ll eat up resources eventually. From: Matt Morris <mailto:matt...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 2:03 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: si runs out of contiguous memory Hi list, I've been modelling a lot of shapes in 2015 r2, and have been getting numerous crashes after a certain amount of work, where si seems to run out of memory with the above error. Particularly if I'm using proportional modelling and symmetry in the shape manager window. Definitely running slowly as well. I thought it might be to do with ice trees on other meshes referencing this one, but having deleted all refs and any ice trees on the geo, it still happens. Is anyone else seeing anything similar? Not sure whether its 2015 related but I can't remember having anything like this much trouble in 2014 sp2. -- www.matinai.com _____ ------ Softimage Mailing List.
