render with lights takes too much time!!

i’m triying to do some images of a building with some lights and it’s taking too much time. is there any way to make it faster? i have a quad core 6600, 2gb ram, and i put interior and exterior lights in the model, and by the way, haw can i make it look more real? it has to be at night, but i think it does’nt look like that, i’ll try to post some image of my model
