Hi,

Is anyone using Max 4 with dual processors?
I was running Max on a single processor and then added another processor and now it hangs. I can launch max, the splash goes by and the program comes up. but when it comes time to draw the viewports for the first time the system hangs solid. I have added no additional software, just a new CPU and memeory.

Just thought I'd ask the board.

I wonder if Max detects processor count on install...hmmm?

works fine on all our dual processor machines, bit dicky sometimes on an athlon we are running.....have you checked your new RAM...theres a memory tester at www.simmtester.com...on a fast machine it only takes 10 mins to check 1/2 a gb

Thanks for the feedback. It was a combination of things. I did have mismatched RAM. Thats what was causing the Max hang. After that I had to enable dual processing under the device manager in Win 2K. Now I get about a 40% increase in render speed.
