Configure Visual Studio to use more ram

I read a blog post at one time on how to increase the amount of RAM that Visual Studio will use. I am getting a "Not enough memory free" error message when trying to copy a small line of text in the visual studio editor.

Does anybody know how or where I can configure this?

I used to get that. I forget which of the many hotfixes got rid of it.
