...sounds like a VRAM limitation?  What kind of card are you using, and 
are you using spanning monitors?  Also, what else is open, 
application-wise?  Remember that everything (windows and icons) in OSX 
is resident on the card, so if you have less than 32MB's you'll 
eventually run into this problem :-(
