Ah, that's it. Yes, I highly recommend upgrading your RAM to at least 1 GB. 448 MB, that sounds like 512 MB minus 64 MB - do you have a laptop? Looks like your machine has an integrated graphics chip that uses shared memory, and those are notorious for low 3D performance. If you have a desktop machine, I highly recommend disabling the onboard graphics chip and installing an AGP graphics card. Even the cheap ($60) low-end cards from nVidia and ATI will deliver much better 3D performance. If your machine is a laptop, there's nothing you can do about it. As for the pagefile sizes: I'd recommend setting the minimum pagefile size equal to the maximum. 2048 MB on your main HD and 2048 MB on your external HD should work fine. The main advantage of setting the pagefiles to fixed sizes is that no expansion of the pagefile will occcur while you are working. Such an expansion slows down your system big time, and Poser 4 invariably crashed during an expansion. The fixed size pagefiles will not fragment either - dynamically expanded pagefiles tend to suffer from fragmentation. Hope this helps, Steven.
