well not really totally true. anything that can be stored on the usb ReadyBoost will save that bit of ram from being used. so whether it uses it directly or indirectly it "increases" ram. granted, i wouldn't expect to see a big difference either but if it was right at the edge of working it would help. i agree, best bet is add more ram. that said, 4GB is even gonna be pushing it
So I tried again with the desktop computer. This time running ReadyBoost with 700Mb on standby, and running the Task Manager to see the effect on resources.
The process crashed well before the RAM was used up, and the CPU wasn't being pushed to the limit either.
Hi RacerChris,
The error message your receiving, Error Message 7343.k.xp.gn, is that your computer is running out of memory whilst creating bitmaps for your site. The only thing I can really suggest is to use a more powerful computer/ cleaner computer, dividing your site into smaller sites, and making sure all your images are optimised, also in WD11, we also create "Retina" resolution bitmaps, you can also disable this feature, by going to Utilities >> Web Properties >> At the bottom of the Website Tab, which should reduce the memory requirements.

I checked the index_htm_files folder and ordered them by file size. The 50+ largest PNG files were between .4Mb and 1.8Mb.
Those images were generated using the fractal cloud transparency.
I'll change them to flat with 30% transparency. This should cut the file size considerably.
Chris, if you can afford it, now is the time to update that computer.
I think you'll find that upgrading one of your computers is a lot cheaper than you imagine - particularly if you buy second-hand. It will probably save you a lot of hassle. Maybe you can just upgrade the memory on the desktop?
Success!
Now there is only one file larger than 1Mb, and the total website size is only 23Mb.
Next step is to upload to the server and test the site with with my iPhone.
