Lower texture sizes/change formats in photoshop or use the texture atlas in DS to combine textures to one sheet for background figures. You can also try rendering parts of the scene and combining them together in photoshop.

there are ways to make a program not use the entire CPU (or run below normal) but I'm not sure if there's a way to do the same with ram. I have Daz set to below normal so that I have a slightly less chance of burnin up my proc since most of the time I have too much in the scene to all go on the gfx card ;)

With Cacheman you can limit the amount of RAM an app can use but it's mostly for apps with memory leaks I think (but who knows, DS may have some of these too).
