What is the Unity3d rendering limit?
I have been trying out the limits of unity3d. I created a scene where I started duplicating a model of a farmer. It had 9k tris and was fully textured with a few diffuse/spec maps. 4x 256/256 px and two 2048/2048px maps.
It started lagging a bit when I got to 128 models (mainly when I was trying to select the models), after I duplicated them again, which gave me 256 models in my view port it was very hard to select them all. I barely managed to select them, just after I clicked duplicate the game has crashed. 
My dev pc is in the 3% of gaming computers (with no overclocking), so I can squeze most software to its limits. I will need to run a HD scene with over 3 milion polygons, are there any ways to higher the bottlecap?
I've been thinking about using the CFF explorer to change the program data, would it work?
You hit the 3GB limit of a 32 bit process. I'm not sure if the editor will run as a 64 bit process.

There are many types of memory and many way of optimizing. I can run 3 Mil triangles easily on my PC (not a very high end one by now.)
I believe that speed issue you ran into is that by copy/paste, you are creating a unique copy of the textures, mesh and triangles. By using Shared textures, the models will all use the same copy of the texture, allowing you to push a lot more triangles.
Will the editor be affected? I have been inside of the editor thus I have not compiled it into a 64 bit application.
I did some quick googling,and I don't see a 64 bit unity editor out there.
