Hello Todd,
If you have followed tutorial #2 - a "plasma jet", then simulation should not occupy more than 5Mb of RAM. If you're getting out of RAM message in any tutorial, then most probably you have entered wrong spacing value.
As I've mentioned once - we've been developing FumeFX on dual core machines with 3Gb of RAM which was quite enough. All FumeFX animations on our web site that we did were done on such machine.
As for crashes, please send us a status window text so that we can examine what have happened. In normal circumstances, when FumeFX gets out of RAM, it will swap to disk and not crash. If anyone else is getting similar crashes, please let us know.
Thank you,
Kresimir
