yeah...if you're using that much memory...wow..;)  If you've added memory recently, you might check the paging file size; see if it's correct, or if it needs to be adjusted. While Win 7 can address more than 3 gigs, I don't think Poser can (but prove me wrong, that's no biggie)

If you peak out on actual memory, virtual (invisible) memory uses the hard drive as 'additional' memory, which is much slower..;) not that that's happening here, but it's been known to happen..at least on earlier Operating systems.

what I do (having a huge database and Poser up at the same time) is to have any unneeded programs off;  Browsers, games, whatever (but I think you already know that)

Hope this helps...
