Looking at your specs, I would say that your amount of RAM will probably be the biggest factor regarding poor performance. Also, if it is a 32bit system, that will impact it as well.

If this is a 32bit system, you may consider enabling the 3Gig switch and see about upping your page file.

If possible, I would upgrade the amount of RAM to a minimum of 12GB.I run windows 7 64 ultimate, 16GB RAM, Quad Core i7 and a SSD and even with all that, I can still push the limits of my system.

 

If updating is not an option, you will need to explore some modeling best practices as well as turn on worksharing to control what information is loaded or unloaded.

You can search these forums or google much of this information...look for the last version of the Model Performance Technical Note...was some good advice in there.

Good luck
