Fellow enthusiasts, I seek your help.

When it comes to larger renders, my Poser just freezes. I have this scene with a lot of high- res figures on it, and when I try to render it, here is what happens: it spends a lot of time with making calculations and when it's  done with those, the rendering still doesn't commence. 

My machine, by the way, is quite a strong one, an Intel Core Duo with 1 gigs of RAM. When I make the render, I usually set the render settings to the highest possible quality. I hope there is some other soloution to the problem, because I would not want to make compromises when it comes to actual quality. I'm probably not the first one to have this problem. Can anyone give me some advice?

Sincerely:
