Maximizing RAM

hello mga masters and members, im just new in 3D max especially in Vray and I have this problem of maximizing ram. From my old computer w/c I only have 4GB ram when rendering vray the used memory is up to 2gb only. But now I got a more faster computer with 12gb RAM, the memory used is the same (2gb only), even though I have already changed the setting from 400mb (default) to 8000mb, dynamic. Im using Vray 1.50 in max2011. Is there any way I can increase or maximize my memory? Thanks so much sa mga suggestions. ^_^

32 bit system can only use a maximum 4gb RAM.. Upgrade to 64 bit if you want maximize your RAM modules..

Sir Im using win7 64bit, max2011 64bit too., specs: corei7 3.0ghz w/ 12gb ddr3 ram... im just not satisfied in the use of my memory...

wrong section po! please read the rules before posting..

correct me if im wrong,..
kung 2gb lang talaga ang size nung rinerender mo, 2gb lang ang gagamitin na memory...

i totally agree with this... try to add hundreds of nevermotion trees!!! dont proxy it... and test....

baka naman sir nag 12g ka nga pero ang setting mo ang hinabol mo din i mean tinaasan mo din pati mga subdivs ganon din ang resulta noon kahit i7 ka pa matataas naman ang setting mabagal padin. correct me if im wrong.

tama po kayo master erick at kieko, what i observe pagdumadami at nagiging complex ang irerender nya gumagamit din sya ng mas malaking memory. I'd tried to add displacement sa grass at adding more archmodels di sya nagfail katulad ng luma kong computer. Akala ko kasi once you have that very high memory gagamitin agad nya kahit sa simple rendering lang... Anyway, thanks sa lahat ng nagreply. ^_^
