Hi

Back in the old days when my computer really sucked I use to get around this by posing a character and rendering it, the first figure had to be in the background.

Then I would save it as a high res image and import it as the background image.

Then I would place another character in front of it and do it all over again etc.

This was especially helpful when animating multiple characters.

Do one save an .avi file, import the video file as a back ground and then place another animated character on top of it.

It takes some planning but it works.

But with your computers specs should not have problems rendering multiple figures.

You could add some ram, ram is pretty cheap any more, I remember when I paid $300 for 4 megabytes.  Now I have 32,000 megabytes, if it still cost that much I'd be broke.

Try running Defraggler and CCleaner.

Both of these programs are free.

I use both of these every day.

Defraggler is especially important with really large files and will let you chose to only defrag a few files in a few minutes not the whole drive taking hours.

I've had times when just defragmenting the one large file I was working on would make the difference between speedy processing and the computer freezing.
