Right cmon guys, help me out here :op

This is my system:

ABIT IC7 MOTHERBOARD hyperthread enabled.
Pentium4 3Ghz cpu HT
Graphics= nvidia geforce 6800 ultra 256 meg
sound= SB Live 5.1
RAM= 3072MEG DDR
H/DRIVE= 1x200GIG & 1x120gig
ENVIRONMENT= WINDOWS XP HOME ADDITION SP2
PERIPHERALS= WACOM PEN TABLET, LOGITECH CORDLESS MOUSE.
DRIVES= ATAPI dvdRW & DVD ROM.
ViRtual Memory = MIN 1024 MAX. 4096
Processor scheduling = "Adjust for best performance of: PROGRAMS"
Memory Usage = "Adjust for best performance of: PROGRAMS"

I am trying to improve the capabilities of my machine to render poser5.

I have been pushing it and pushing it to the point where I am trying to render 7 version 3 characters in a scene with plenty of scenery, eg walls etc.

I am trying to render in poser 4 mode into a window of 1024 x 768 with 72 pixels per inch. with everything selected except shader nodes.

When I open the file and view task manager the ram used goes up to around 900 meg.

When I render the ram usage goes up to 1.82 gig then poser gives an out of memory warning :o(

This was when I had 2048 meg of ram.

So I bought another 1 gig stick of ram and now have over 3 gig.

Unfortunatly I am still getting the out of meory warning at the same place and it suggest allocating more memory to Poser ???

Any suggestions as to why poser wont utilize this extra 1 gig it now has available?

Thanks
MaRv

When opening the file
