Virtual memory getting exhausted *usually* has nothing to do with the
amount of RAM or swap space you have.  It's more likely to be related to
your resource allocation.  Try "man <whatever shell you use>" and see
section for limit or ulimit command (limit for csh and friends, ulimit
for sh and friends).
