Just plug in how much ram your computer has (keeping in mind that you should really only have C4D open when doing this) and set your OS option and you have the amount of ram you can dedicate to it!  Side Note: Mac OSX is roughly the same as Windows 7.

Duplicating Comps - Quick Tip

Duplicating comps is extremely helpful when working on large projects or multiple small pieces to make a whole. Luckily there are two great ways to duplicate comps. The easy fast way to duplicate a comp is to just CMD+D the comp in the project panel.

There's also a more robust way to duplicate comps which includes every single comp and file inside it. This can be quite helpful and quite messy at the same time. 

True Comp Duplicator This awesome plugin gives you tons of options to duplicate comps with files and even has some really good search options.
