Mar 13, 2015 at 12:48 comment added Vince Obviously 4Gb is too small for swap. I never hit virtual RAM if I can avoid it, but my W7 systems have 8Gb RAM (which feels too small, so I'm leaning towards an upgrade to 16Gb soon). 3-D GIS requires significant RAM, and swap is five orders of magnitude slower than physical memory (6ms vs 40ns seek). Try increasing swap, then report what Windows has to say about available memory.

Mar 13, 2015 at 11:08 comment added Vince 45Mb might be small, but it's unlikely you have the full 2Gb available -- Windows 7 steals more that half of that without any other resident applications. Other variables include swap space ("virtual memory") and the application word size (32-bit applications can't address more than 1-1.2 Gb total memory, ever), and the amount of RAM dedicated to other things. Please edit the question to include the OS, swap, word size, and an indication of what the OS reports as free as the job runs.
