Another tip: increase the minimum page file size. "Windows is low on memory" means that Windows has to expand the swapfile during your render. That'll slow the render down considerably - if it doesn't crash completely.
With 256 MB I'd set the minimum page file size to 768 MB or 1 GB. That will get rid of those "low on memory" messages and your render speed will increase.
Still, adding RAM is a VERY good idea. But change the page file size too. Edited to add: if you add RAM, I'd recommend buying two identical DDR400 modules of 512 MB. When you upgrade to a new machine, you can take those modules out of your "old" machine and put them both in the new one - it will almost definitely be a dual-channel machine.
