Thanks for all the reply.
I have now ordered another Gig of RAM at about R300-00 ($42.00).

I only have the Home edition of XP.

Here's how you can tell Windows XP Pro (doesn't work on Home) to allow 3 GB of address space per process instead of the normal 2 GB.

• open c:boot.ini in a text editor (Notepad), the easiest way to do this is to right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, tab Advanced, button Startup and Recovery, and then choose the button to edit startup options manually.
• add the text '/3GB' to the end of the line that reads 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows XP ...'
• and save.
  After the next reboot, Windows will allow programs to use up to 3 GB of (virtual) memory each, instead of the normal 2 GB. Poser 7 can make use of this extra GB. Earlier versions of Poser cannot.

My Boot.ini looks like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Can I add the text '/2GB' to it as you have suggested for the XP pro or will Windows goes nuts?
In the device Manager I can see that my page file is between 1536 and 3072 MB, with the total page file size at 1536MB.
I have tried in the past to increase it here but Windows does not allow that.
