512 megs of ram is plenty. I used to have 512 megs (I have a gig now) and I could run 3dsmax along with several other programs such as photoshop and internet explorer without seeing performance hits. I watched the task manager once when I was doing some heavy stuff in 3dsmax (such as rendering with raytracing) and it never went higher than 220 megs.

How fast is your processor? That probably has something to do with it.
