Aside from surfing over to pricewatch.com to grab another 512Mb stick for like $25-40, I suggest you look into versions of WIndows that uilize VIrtual Memory. Operating Systems, like WindowsXP, allow you to designate a portion of a nice new FAT32 or NTSC Hard Drive to RAM Memory Functions. I have a coule HDs, allocating a Gigbyte or two from each, to Virtual Memory, usually keeps Poser from ever squacking over memory needs. It's not to hard to do, windows allows this easily. So, next time you run into a spare 1 or 2 GB HD, do'nt throw it away!
