First, while you're running Mathematica use the "free" command to see how
much free memory you have left. If you're really running out of memory
(and this can happen with Mathematica) you don't have a lot of choices -
you can add RAM (preferred), add swap space (not so good bu cheap), or
both. Possibly you can cut down on the number of applications and daemons
you're running, and save memory that way, but this rapidly hits the point
of diminishing returns.
