On some 32-bit Windows machines virtual memory is restricted to 1.6 Gbs (or thereabouts). It doesn't matter if you have hundreds of giga-bytes of physical memory or swap, no process can grow larger than this size. Maya may encounter a memory exception and report that there is still lots of memory available.
