Whilst we do not know what is the installed RAM memory in this case the
amount to produce a 2 gb page for a normal user would need to be well
below the recommended minimum. The solution would be to add RAM memory,
subject to any motherboard limitations. If the page was 2 gb then that
is unacceptable and one should be looking to reduce it's size not
suggesting a larger hard disk / partition to accommodate it!
