Like many applications, Max is currently only a 32 bit application.  
You will need to figure out a strategy for using the disk to your  
advantage.

If you are trying a *loadram* message to jit.qt.movie it will also  
not load the RAM, if not crash. When you just open a file via read,  
it is not loaded into RAM. Perhaps this is the discrepancy you are  
seeing.
