It's the bump maps cause the most trouble - I have 892MB and sometimes (like every fifth render attempt) I get a Poser hang due to memory overflow. I've tried setting up a system monitor to check the memory usage on rendering, and a major Vicki figure with UpDo hair and clothes is too much even for my 892MB (!) if I use any bump maps. So I tend not to.... No, this is NOT unique to Steph, it's been a prob ever since the Millenium figures (very high poly count) moved into our computers. :] FishNose
