I believe there were discussions about V3's memory usage when she first came out. If you have system restrictions, it might have been more worth your while to purchase V2 or Steph. Those 5 million dials offer a greater diversity of appearances for V3 over the original Vicki and posette. It does seem to be that your system as described should be able to handle V3. You might go back and make sure that your memory isn't being taken up by other programs. Personally, I think a bigger disappointment for this year was Cath's falling out with DAZ which lead to her not releasing the Bryan texture for M3. That and Anton leaving DAZ.
