    After Effects CS4 is a 32-bit application; each instance of AE can only see 4GB of RAM. To use more of your system’s RAM, you need to enable multiprocessing (which launches multiple copies of the After Effects renderer, each of which can address up to 4 GB of RAM). You need 2 to 4 GB of RAM per instance for multiprocessing to be effective.

    CS5 is 64-bit only, so a single instance of AE CS5 could address all 8 GB of RAM — but it won’t run on XP64. It requires Vista 64 or Windows 7 64-bit edition.
