Making V-Ray use More RAM ?
-
I recently upgraded my laptop ram to 8 GB . How can I make V-ray use more RAM, so as to boost the performance? I am using Windows 8.1 (64 bit) and Sketchup 2015 (64bit)

It's already using the full available RAM as you're using the 64bit version. So if you want to use more RAM the only way would be to upgrade to even more RAM.
However, there is something that you should be aware of... if you want to boost performance you don't need more RAM but better CPU and GPU.
RAM is just there so you can open the model and work with it. If you have enough RAM for your model it will work. If you don't have RAM enough it will freeze.
It's the GPU and CPU that determine your performance Boost...
Having a laptop means you probably can't improve on those two and that's why I ditched my laptop in favour of a Big Tower Computer... It's a bit harder to take it to construction site, but I can do what I want with it at the office!
