I have a new computer. 16GB of RAM. I took a careful look at my system during the stack today. Stacking 16mpxl images with 2x drizzle showed no spike in memory usage. It stayed at 800MB ONLY throughout the entire stack right to the point where it complained about memory.
How much memory does DSS use with no image loaded? How much with a 36Mpx image. Subtract to estimate the memory for an image.

2x drizzle would require 4x the image memory and the 32 bit limit will probably get tripped.

You probably need a 64 bit version DSS. Is there one?
