[Discuss] memory management

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Agreed. My netbook has 1G of memory and actually ran virtualbox 
surprisingly well while I was giving a presentation using Libre Office 
Impress. It might be possible that you have an issue with your memory. 
Try running a memory diagnostic.
