This problem seems to have been covered extensively in the Apple forums and has yielded no resolution. http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...wc.7@.688f688a

At this point I believe this to be a bug in the software. I have a DP2.0 G5 with 1 GB of memory, so physical memory is clearly not the problem. Has anyone else had similar problems or found a solution to this?

i'be used final cut 4 on three different macs and never gotten that message. They were all G4s, maybe its a G5 thing.

I'm still using FCP 3, so I can't help you, but a few posts on your link have provided work-arounds. My first inclination is that your drives are filled, and OS X doesn't have enough contiguous or near contiguous space for swap space (virtual memory)--as someone in the Apple thread mentioned, too.

While 1GB of memory may be more than enough to run FCP, OSX loads more RAM than needed to cover itself. If it runs out, it'll be looking for drive space.

I'd put another gig in regardless.

Good luck.
