So, have= a new box with Sandy Bridge-E with 64GB of RAM. I=92ve edited prefs to all= ow 6GB per core and have both CS5.5. and CS6 stably rendering with 6 cores.= I find OS needs 12 GB free.

So if yo= u have a render that=92s failing to use MP =96 it appears you can push AE t= o 6GB per core. I=92ve also used 4GB per core on a couple of simple project= s. It=92s also reliable in RAM previews.

This is = hard data on my belief that AE loves RAM per core more than it loves # of c= ores.
