it means your mac ran out of system memory.
so you have to get more system memory for your mac.
and then your mac won't run out of system memory.

what is system memory?? RAM? cause ive got 1.25 gigs of ram.
I was loading up a page in internet explorer and it said that.
- mitsu0
another explanation is that you are running memory-intensive applications or too many applications at once that are taxing on the systems memory

if you are running os 9 turn on virtual memory and dedicate a scratch disk

my G4 at work does the same thing every-now-and-then. all i do is close one of the other open windows in my browser, and click the link again.
btw, i use "microsoft outlook" as my email on this machine (work makes everyone use it) and it sucks. there is a reason my computer dies every hour and that is MICROSOFT. the software sucks for mac
- steadyvibe0
yeah sure you can have it

In OSX go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor... lots of useful info.
To understand the memory chart, search Google for: wired active inactive free
