That's 75 Mb. Add the ram used by POV-Ray itself, the base scene file and any other
include. Add the 
space used by all textures. Add your backdrop. Add the internal representation of
everything in the 
scene... That can add up real fast. If you also use radiosity, add the radiosity data.
To check how much RAM you sue, hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc to summon the task manager and find
"pvengine.exe" 
in the process tab. It's probably way larger than your installed memory.
