Still, it shouldn't freeze the computer, if the RAM runs out it should use the virtual paged memory.

I get locked up sometimes too and have 384MB of physical RAM and have my virtual memory set to 800-1,000 MB. But I get locked up starting it, think it's more of a "I'm an old computer, leave me alone, go get one of those nice young new computers and let me sleep" sort of problems user added image
