Virtual machines can generally run with 2GB without any issues, but in 
my experience physical hardware requires either more memory, or an 
enlarged swap file.

However, I just noticed your previous post mentioned you were using a 32 
bit processor and OI no longer supports 32 bit machines. So, perhaps 
you're running into some kind of issue related to this.
