Let me add that on my system, the XP OS normally used 
about under 800 MB with multiple programs open. When Axiom 
started the CPU monitor shows 770MB and when the command 
psolve(amat) started, the memory usage rose all the way to 
about 1.20 GB and then quit. So there is plenty of 
physical RAM left (not to mention virtual RAM). I repeated 
this and Axiom aborted with:

Currently, 97956 pages are allocated.
Use ALLOCATE to expand the space.
