Well, setting the priority has nothing to do with memory. ;P It has to do with how much 'attention' a process is given by the CPU over other processes - nothing more.
You cannot set the amount of memory an application uses in Windows (or MacOSX). It is allocated as needed up til your memory is exhausted or it has reached the bit limit (32-bit = 2GB in this case). Virtual memory can help - but that is used mainly for page swapping when using multiple applications - it is not a memory extension beyond the bit limit. (!!!)
Agreed - get more memory. 1GB is minimum these days (unless you aren't doing anything much - email and internet). 2GB is good. 3GB is better if you have dual-core or dual-processors. Since Poser isn't 64-bit, you can't get the advantage of like 16GB of memory - even if it physically exists.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
