Also, to test whether your system can make large memory allocations, you can do:

python -c "s='x'*(4*(1024*1024))"
python -c "s='x'*(8*(1024*1024))"
python -c "s='x'*(16*(1024*1024))"
python -c "s='x'*(32*(1024*1024))"
python -c "s='x'*(64*(1024*1024))"
python -c "s='x'*(128*(1024*1024))"
python -c "s='x'*(256*(1024*1024))"

The above commands will try to allocate memory from 4M to 256M.
