Hello.
It is a bit strange, usually MySQL should be able allocate up to 2G
of memory. Check that summary memory usage of MySQL is less than 2G.
You may be interested in PAE extention. But to be able to use it
you should compile MySQL yourself. See:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Memory_use.html
