Hi everybody,

I recently made a trip to the computer store to upgrade my computer. I wanted to buy more RAM memory. Currently I'm running 1 GB of RAM. In the store they told me that windows XP does not allow for more than 2 GB of RAM to be used. The rest would be transferred to the video memory. Is this true? I was planning on going up to 4 or 3 GB of RAM, but now I'm not so sure.

My current processor is a pentium 4 of 3,2 GHz. I would replace that with: Intel Core2 Quad 2,4 GHz.
The problem is that DAZ Studio runs very slow under my current configuration. Every scene with V4.1 in it takes a very long time to load, scenes with more than one V4.1 figure in it or a V4.1 figure and an M3.0 figure sometimes don't load at all. My computer just reboots itself...
Do I solve this nasty problem by upgrading to just 2 GB of RAM or do I need more ? Will the Quadcore processor help in anyway? Also I'm planning on installing a new videocard.
The curent one is a NVIDIA GeForce 5700LE, the new one would be a ASUS EN8600GTS...

If anybody can clear this out for me ( because in the computerstore they couldn't as they didn't know DAZ studio ) I would be very gratefull,

Thanks a lot in advance,

Peevee
