Get more then. Don't be afraid to scale vertically. :)

RAM is dirt cheap at the moment, not sure quite what is going on. :P

Oh yeah, but you might need 64-bit if you already hit the limit of 3GB. (If you have 32-bit)

Yeah i already have 4GM installed so 3.25GB useable so adding more RAM won't help, guess it really is time to finally upgrade to a 64-bit OS, guess i'll look in to that after i save for upgrades to my PC, only £140 to go >.<

lol in this case its a picture of a painted picture of a guy from castlevania, one of the games, its actually a pretty detailed image and i'm assuming it was a poster at some point hence the massive size :)

Try 7-zip'ing something big, like an ISO, with a Dictionary size of 512MB. It will eat 5413mb of RAM, or 1024MB dictionary which will eat 10.789mb of RAM :chef:

This isn't far off what LifeTimeBLOOD was meaning actually.
