Not real happy with 4.8

My computer did fine with 4.7 yea it was a little slow but I could render a image with any of the generations with back ground and lights with out a memory problem. Now that I upgraded to 4.8 I can hardly do anything without getting a memory error. I'm almost to the point of wanting to go back to 4.7. Heck I even upgraded the ram on my computer to 8gig and am still seeing this problem.

    32 or 64 bit?

    It almost sounds like you are running 32 bit Studio...if so, that 8 GB of RAM isn't doing anything for it.

    What are your computer specs?  What operating system?

    I still run a copy of 4.6 along with 4.8 (via the beta) on the same 64 bit Windows7 box. I'm afraid to un-install 4.6 because I can't get it back if I do. I no longer have the 4.6 install because I never backed-up my "product library" locally because I thought my product library was an archive - my mistake, I guess.

    For me, I've noticed that 4.6 feels more consistent & stable than 4.8 when performing the same operations on the same scene. In 4.6, there are fewer occasions that my machine is unresponsive, and the periods of time when it is don't last as long.

    That being said, 4.8 does render significantly faster for me once it gets going (I still use 3DL for scripted multi-pass rendering).

    4.8 has been surprisingly stable on my computer. Have you considered doing a reinstall or verifying your not running an earlier version.
