Hey, any help will be appreciated.
Right, I have 2GB's of RAM, and as you know, if you've looked in the Media section, I am doing some 3D modelling work.
Now, I'm really hitting a wall, and I think its due to the RAM.
When rendering now, I get Memory Exception Errors, or crashes to the desktop with no warning. I think this is due to the amount of polygons in the models now, and it is seriously starting to worry me. With less detailed models, or with only one model in the scene, the program has no problems.
I only have a 32bit Windows XP though, and to get it to work, would have to add more RAM.
If I did buy another 2GB's, Windows XP would only see 3GB of it right?
But, I heard that programs would still only use 2 because of a limit?
I have looked up about a /3GB switch also, but this seems to have dramastic problems with other parts of the system, and doesn't infact let Windows use all the RAM:

I could really do with some help on the matter, and like I said, it'll be greatly appreciated. But I really cannot work with how it is right now.
