If POV-Ray reports it runs out of memory (usually via 'Cannot allocate 
xx bytes for yy...') that means the OS is not able to provide POV-Ray 
with sufficient memory.  POV-Ray does not care if this is virtual or 
physical memory.  If this only occurs in large size renders you should 
of course try to render without display.
