Close all other open programs then try. If that doesn't help...buy more RAM.

you could also try one of those ram defraggers/ram cleaners.
i have one runningon my windows system, but i don't think it will work on a mac :P

I think you have to increase your Virtual Memory.

If all else fails, buy more RAM, it's pretty cheap these days.

I would suggest getting rid of the Mac and build a l33t gaming machine with a windows os.

my comp is a 800 mhz, 128 mb ram, no 3d card, and photoshop and 3dsmax work FINE!

you don't need a 1337 machine, just tweak some stuff, like cutting down winXP as i did :)

thats a Lie.. no way will 3Ds max run without a 3d card, and if it does it probably runs mad slow.

My old IBM laptop, with the same specs (alright, 8mb of shared video RAM) could run 3ds Max 6 and Photoshop 7 at decent speeds.

I have 256 mb of video ram from a GeForce 5700 FX (100 bucks)
I have 256 mb of SDRAM .. they dont even make SDRAM anymore, but 256 none the less, and if I load a texture model of over 10,000 pollies it runs at like 3 frames per year...

bastard, lol. nice specs.

my pc with an x800 GPU (128 MB ram), 768 MB of system memory (DDR) and an AMD 64 3200+ run max pretty well. back when i had only 512 MB of ram, max would slow down some when i started working with upwards of 100,000 polies.

everything in max runs off the processor.

You can configure it to use Direct 3D or OpenGL.

More like $275.

I just built my friend a computer with two Geforce 6800 XT's in SLi, I can only think of two words to describe it... greased lightning.

the new 7950 is all the power of SLI in one PCIe slot, so you don't need to have an nvidia motherboard. yeah, it also steals the term "greased lightning" from your 6800s.

how? i could use the performance boost of using my GPU and the extra cycles for other stuff on my CPU.

in the start menu when you click to open max, click theone below it that says configure graphics mode.

Just to clarify.
