These types of things are caused by one of two situations:
1) Some situation of extremely high system load (eg a combination of intense
file system access over software RAID and routing between several 100baseT
interfaces).
2) Kernel bug.
If it's the latter than having 2G of RAM isn't necessarily going to save
