I sam condstantly coming up against the 1GB limit (which I wish I had known about before stumping up thousands of pounds for the software). It seems madness, in the age of 16GB RAM machines and dual quad core's, that this is a limit. Can anyone explain to me why there is a limit or a workaround for it. When is the next version of EASE comin out and will it address this? An idea of other forthcoming features would be useflul too.

The reason for the 1 GB limit is that it is a limitation of the 32 bit development platform used for EASE 4.x. With 32 bit applications you can only access about 2GB memory, including the OS itself. A 64 bit EASE or rather AURA version is in planning but it will still need some time.

Typically you can reduce the memory requirements by increasing the Patch Size, Using Area Settings to get high resolution where you need it most, or by mapping a very large project as subsections. Use Objects to make enabling and disabling these areas quickly.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
