Usually when you get this error it isn't because the memory capacity is
too small. In the days when TeX came in "small" and "big" sizes, this
sometimes happened, but I think just about everything is "bigTeX" now.
The capacity exceeded error is usually the result of something in your own
TeX code, not a result of the limitation of the capacity of TeX. Changing
the memory capacity won't fix the problem because the memory problem in
your code will eat up as much memory as you have.
