That depends...

Nice, but I suppose you are running a 32 bit Windows XP on it? That means 
you have a maximum of 2 GB (default, or 3 GB with a XP boot option) per 
process of memory available. A 41000*41000 24 bit image already consumes 4.7 
GB of memory, which a 32 bit system cannot handle. You need to use a 64 bit 
Windows with the 64 bit version of POV-Ray.
