I have made a few renderings trying to get high resolution images. I tried yesterday 4500x2200 at 3600 minuten and my system (iMac G5 1Gb ram) crashed seriously. I spend some time to get my system running again and for a while I though I had to send my iMac for repair.
Tried again now at 3500 instead of 4500 at 1500 minutes and crashed again but not as bad so I restarted. I think I better leave the system rendering until its finished before touching the mouse or get any other activity than rendering. Also got the screen saver and sleep mode inactive since my system refused to wake up after a few hours of rendering.

Well, I am wondering what the maximum safe resolution is on a mac with Maxwell. Any experiences here on the forum with high res results.

See my posting about MXI file size:

Beside that RAM you need RAM for OS, application and the internal scene representation.

At the current RAM prices, I would seriously recommend to buy more, if you
plan to create bigger images.

Hope it helps

ok, thanks that explanes a lot. I will render on my macbook pro with 2Gb available. Thats the max I can put in now.
Also here shows a minus for Maxwell, with C4D this was not as much a problem. For clients that don't really mind I would go back to C4D for larger sized picts for presentations that need to be printed.
