>I understand that FF prints amount of memory per one core and amount i need really huge. But is it possible to decrease that number by increasing of the number of cores? Or may be we can play with parameters to overcome this problem. May be i can solve the problem with beta version of FF8. I will be appreciate for any help and suggestions.
