Changing RAM usage in 3ds Max 2011?

ikonane

I get this error when I try to render a AO in Max 2011:



I followed this tutorial:
http://www.eddybrown.co.uk/blog/baking-ambient-occlusion/


But even if I use a lot lower settings I still get the error when rendering 2048x2048. 1024 works but not 2048.

Any idea how to fix this?

I found this thread but I dont have the "Memory Limit" box in my Translator options.

My comp:
XP - 32bit
2,53Gz
2,93 GB RAM

Program´s can´t use more then 2GB on 32Bit Windows, you can use the 3GB switch though and try again.

Is this it?

Yes this should be it.
