[John Terrone] " I'm working with alot of lights and cameras for this project and it's taking very long to render. If the RAM isn't the solution, is there another way to get this machine faster. Here are my current AE settings: "

You have an almost identical setup as my main system (2.8 Quad core with 20GB RAM) and mine renders blazingly fast (as compared to the past systems I've used). I think it may be your use of multiple cameras and lights. Since I don't use AE for 3D, I'm not sure, but the apps that I do happen to use for 3D (Cinema4D, Maya, and Motion) will all slow down considerably as more lights and cameras are added.

By the way, Your memory settings are spot-on for the best performance in AE unless you do a lot of RAM previews.
