Don't worry, you asked exactly the right question - but, unfortunately, it
is not a 32-bit OS here that's the culprit so the situation is more
involved than that.
You are right - it would indeed be desirable to have more than 3 GB of RAM
on that system. However it is not obvious to me that having that little RAM
should cause I/O failure? Why? That it would make the machine slow is to be
expected - and especially so given that I had to jack the swap up to some
40 GB. But I do not necessarily see why I should have outright failures due
solely to not having more RAM.
