ORA-04030 "Out of process memory trying to....."

Hi, colleagues,
Could someone enlighten me on the above subject? 8.1.7.0.0/ Win2k 2.5G RAM. Users get a lot of those when reports are run heavily. Once I opened a TAR on that, and Oracle support recommended either cutting the db_block_buffers
(which I did), or changing the process memory addressability to 3G. Reports
use a lot of views based on joins of huge tables. Now I'm getting these errors again. Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
Sergey Babich
