Again:  VM won't give you more 'memory' if you already have more than a 32-bit process can support (2GB).  Virtual Memory is only a HD swapping space when using multiple applications so as to be able to virtually use more than your available physical memory over the multiple applications.  You can't teach an old dog a new trick and a 32-bit process cannot address more than 2GB of memory.

You already have the maximum amount of memory that any 32-bit OS will address (Windows XP SP2 with the 3GB switch only gets you to 3GB physical memory seen by the system).  Unless the OS and application are 64-bit, even a 64-bit OS won't help a 32-bit app address more than 2GB.  Poser is a 32-bit application.

You'll have to find alternatives to reduce the possibility of 'out of memory' errors during renders in Poser.  Poser 7 supposedly does a better job at this with large renders.  You'll get responses concerning Firefly renders with respect to bucket size and so on.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
