Hello
AutoCAD 32 bits (any version 20xx-201x) has a historical "sound" barrier : about 1.3 Gb used by the 32 bits task "ACAD.exe" !
Even if you have yet 0.5-1.0 Gb windows memory available ... which is the maximum on a 3 or 4 Gb PC with a 32 bits Windows
You must switch to a PC 64 bits with Windows 64 bits (Seven if possible, it's better than Eight : my opinion)
with 8 Gb of Memory !
Bye, Pat

Hi s.gholap,
How are you?
As pendean and braudpat explained, the problem is mostly due to the limitation of 32-bit Windows OS.
In 32-bit Windows OS, for example Windows XP 32-bit, can manage up to 4 GB of memory space. It allocates 2 GB of memory for its own use and allocates only the maximum of 2 GB of memory space to its applications. It is a theoritical number and are shared by other applications running in the background, so the actual size is smaller than that.
The best option is to upgrade to 64-bit OS which allocates 8 TB (virtually unlimited) of memory space to applications.
Here are other things you may also need to check:
I hope the above is helpful in resolving the issue.
