Memory problems with Catia v5r11 GAS GPS

[FrenchCAD]

Running Catia v5r11 with GAS and GPS on a Pentium4 @ 2.8GHz, 1Gb RAM, 36.4 Gb HDD (no online help) we suffer a memory problem :
error messages :

Parameter : 1043421 - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY
Parameter : 9132859 - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY
Parameter : 8648412 - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY

and

NOT ENOUGH CONTIGUOUS MEMORY (even after defragmenting drive and 70%+ free space)

Is Catia limited in number of nodes or DOF? If so, how much is it? Does it depend on our computer?

The assembly is composed by 35 parts and we're trying to modelize strain and stress in it.

NOT ENOUGH RAM, CATIA CAN USE 2.8 GIG.

At work I run a fairly old machine (dual 1Ghz processor P4), so far I have never run into problems for solving most of the parts I work on. That said I do have 2Gb of onboard RAM.

I'm running a dual 2.8G processors with 4.09 gig of ram.
I still run out, it will say "low memory condition detected", after I've done some work. Reboot reguarly, this helps.
