Perhaps your problem came with your OS X version? i had this problem a long time ago with my old Mac Pro (intel core 2) on 10.6. if you can try to upgrade Mac OS X?
i 'm working with a Mac (Intel i7) on Mac OS X 10.9.1 and 16Gb RAM and VirtualBox 4.3.6. I can, without any problem give, at least 8 Gb RAM to VB with this configuration. however, normaly I don't give more than 2 Gb to VM.
