Moreover, doing the above will in no way help at all. The entire problem is that the default memsize on the virtual machine was increased in 3.2.3 to 512 from 300-ish in 3.1.4. Sage worked for you before, not because you used 3.1.4, but because of a single default setting in the virtual machine. Given that your computer only has 512MB RAM, it's no surprise that a virtual machine can't work if it tries to allocate 512MB RAM too.
