The problem is not usually lack of RAM. It's the lack of address space for a 32 bit program (which is 2GB max).
That being said we have a change in testing that will allow the full 4GB of 32 bit address space to be available to EQ if you're running a 64 bit version of windows (it will also allow 3GB if you tweak the heck out of your 32 bit windows install, but I wouldn't recommend that).
Assuming no issues come up in our compatibility lab that change will go out in January or February. That should address most if not all the memory related crashes for those running 64 bit windows. Work is ongoing to help address legacy issues in the engine to be smarter about memory for those not running 64 bit windows.
