How much RAM do you have?

[Corn99]

512

[Agozer]

I fear that maybe 512MB isn't enough for such rigorous 3D work....

 

Meh, I really don't know.

512 isn't really enough for rigorous 3D work as Agozer said. You should invest in some more RAM whenever you get a chance. Close any unnecessary programs you have running the background when you are doing stuff like this.

 

One thing you could do is increase your System Page File. Read about it here: http://www.petri.co.il/pagefile_optimization.htm

I would recommend no less than 1 gb of ram.

Preferably 1.5-2.0 gb of ram for optimal performance.
