>I'm having a problem with a WinXP SP2 computer that contains 2 gig of functional RAM. It seems to run out of memory at about 1.25 gig of page file usage. PF allocation is set to be system managed (currently XP says it's using 2 GB). See screen shot.

Sergey's step is the logical first step. As IE probably has some other task loaded in one of the 20 tabs (Acrobat, Flash, ActiveX enabled ?) you should probably get a clearer picture with Process Explorer.
