I too have had many error messages saying that there was not enough memory, when in fact there should have been. I only have 200MB of memory, but even when I still have over 100MB of RAM available, I still get the memory errors, even with the application memory set higher, it still happens.
I have tried Virtual Memory both on and off. Have tried setting Virtual Memory to 201MB. Now I have Virtual Memory set to 250MB, with 200MB of actual RAM memory. Sometimes Netscape even quits automatically without any error messages at all! Sometimes the computer appears to have frozen, but when I do a "Force Quit," one application quits, and then I am back in business. I also get lots of Finder errors, telling me to close and save everything, and restart. Many times I can still work without closing and restarting, sometimes not.
