Ho, stop! I would expect that on a machine with 2/2 memory, you would still be able to add 4G swap. Then you should be able to have up to 6 processes each requiring close to one Gb of (virtual) memory.
As I don't have a machine with 2G of main memory, I have to trust what I read in Xintians mail, and to me he says that this doesn't work.
