Basic question....
Is GMD likely to do equally well with 4GB (the minimum) and 32 bit program vs 8GB (the minimum) and 64 bit program?
Even if they are equal in their ability to store a certain maximum size project, is one likely to be faster than the other?
One might expect that the 64 bit would be a little better at data storage, and thus might be more efficient even with the minimum memory, but I have no idea what the data storage format is.
Nor do I have any idea what criteria are used to develop the memory size requirement. Obviously there must be some assumptions as to a "typical" amount of required storage.
Yes, I realize that 32 bit is not being carried forward. This is about the best way to go forward until I upgrade to a many-core machine to help with using keyshot. I can increase memory, but it is disproportionately expensive for this machine.
