If you are using ray tracing, try setting the primary rays to "ray
tracing". Slower but uses less memory. Of course BSP settings become
very important.

Hi Brad,
If you're not using anything that has raytracing (reflection,
refraction, dirtmap/AO) then you can switch to the rasterizer.
It doesn't use a BSP for storing the geometry at rendertime so it may
sidestep the issue for you. Environment reflection is ok as it doesn't
involve raytracing.
Cheers,
Alan.
