System Performance - Virtual Memory Increase?

[jujubee]

Perhaps someone can help me out. I'm getting a 'Max is running out of memory' issue with a scene that has several really hi-res textures. I'm trying to hold off purchasing more RAM and a graphics card until the 64 bit OS is released - then I'll make a complete jump over to a new motherboard/components.

My system specs for now follows:

Dual Mon
Geforce Ti4600
Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra
1 GB PC3200 (DDR400)
Athlon XP 2600+

My memory settings are:

Initial Size: 1536
Maximum Size: 3072

have you tried playing with the Bitmap Pager in max Preference settings under Rendering?

Nope

...guess I'll give it a try (hope it works with my HDRIs) - thanks for the suggestion Natty.
