IIRC this is nothing to do with RAM, it might be a lack of shared memory,
you can fix this by writing to /proc if it is the problem, eg:

Show how much you have now:
[swh at meta swh]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
33554432

Increase it:
[root at meta swh]# echo "67108864" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax 

I think some X apps, eg. evolution take a lot of shared memory too. You
could also reboot without running any X apps and try running jack then.
