I've deleted the demo, and am working on a time-bound license in anticipation of buying this, but now I'm thinking it won't work for me at all.
I have a Core 2 Extreme processor, and 2Gigs of RAM. Seemingly an okay setup. When I run the tutorial files, notably the jet engine one (#3 if I recall correctly), I get out of memory errors constantly.
For the jet engine one, it crashed on Frame 20. I reloaded the recovery file, and got it to continue the simulation. It looked like it was off and running. I left and returned an hour later only to find it on Frame 23, crashing out of memory.
I am not complaining about the programming. This must be extremely intense stuff. I just can't really afford to go 64-bit and quadruple my RAM. Will this cutoff script help me, or should I just forget about FumeFX until either A) they tune it to somehow use less RAM, or B) I can afford a machine with a ton more RAM?
