Referring back at my Ubuntu Maverick on an old AthlonXP PC, with an Asus
A7V266-E motherboard and a 7600GS video card from Club 3D.

Today I downloaded the maverick-desktop-i386.iso daily build. Because is
was 734,0 MB I burned it on a DVD-RW.

After the clean installation I updated it with

sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

And I installed the current nvidia drivers version 256.44 
It seems the "out of memory" error is fixed, without using any workarounds.
