XP processing is 32 bit and limited to 4 gig RAM. In real life you are probably only getting 3 gig of RAM. The answer is to probably upgrade to 64 bit which is then open to higher memory, but this has its downsides as far as some hardware and software programmes go. Also many older cameras, including my 5d software won't be recognised with the new 64 bit version of Windows 7, but will be okay with the 32 bit version.
I tend not to open any other programmes when using Photoshop for some heavy processing, and as oldboy says, increase the memory in PS to its max. Sometimes I get the lack of memory issue, but not often these days.
