I had the same problem (on a 64M, P133).  If you are running Win95, go to
microsoft and get the updated kernal32.dll file.  It fixes a problem of
memory "leaking" out of windows, and not being available for use.  Windoze
sorta ... looses ... some of it. :-/  Now I can run QW with the "-heapsize
32000" parameter (32Mb for the game) with no problems.

I still have one error, tho.  On one of the maps (I cant remember which one
right now) I get kicked off, and get an error about an invalid something
size of negative 7 million something or other.  (Sorry about the vague
discription, I cant remember for the life of me what the exact error is.) 
I do have the map tho.  Any one know what's going on?
