Ok, here are the facts. I have a athlon 1.2 Ghz, with 512 Mo 133 SDRAM. My graphic card is a radeon 64 DDR, and my hard drives are all 7200... AND IT FREEZES ALL THE TIMES ! ! ! ! lol Please, help me... I need to render huge images, with a lot of characters with high res maps, but it just can't handle it ! i read, thanks to Viomar that something important is the pagefile or swap file. What is that ? I know what swapping is, but i get lost here. Does that mean that i need 1 Gig on my C drive, where windows is, or does that mean i need 1 Gig free from my D drive where Poser is? or does that mean something else? please, give me some help before i loose control... smile thanks Cecile
