  So, I downloaded the new version, eager to try out all the new features, and started playing it, but it was kinda slow to gen a world and when I was playing it a window popped up on my computer that said the virtual memory was low, and it was slowish so I decided I would just play 40d for then. I have no really big games on my computer, and all the other games I have on my computer that I play never cause a window to pop up, even 40d, so I am kinda concerned about this, because I really want to play DF2010 and try out the new features.

  Any help?

You could try creating a smaller world. Design New World With Parameters > Pocket Island/Region. You could also change the settings (e: Enter advanced parameters) to reduce the number of caverns, remove the magma sea, etc.

If that's still not enough, try out Nano Fortress. It's a little buggy in .12, but if you run it at the embark screen it allows you to embark in a 1x1 area.

Large gens have been reported to have problems, especially with history. If you insist on a large world, reduce the end year by a LOT, aka set it to 50 if you want to play it before our world ends. Medium and smaller seem to generate at "full" speed.

Does increasing your page file help.
