out of swap

Last night I was browsing the web and I came across a page with LOTS of images. There were so many that it drove my swap space to ZERO. I still had 3 Meg of memory, but the system became virtually unusable and SLOW. (there were over 150 x 30k+ images on one page).

Is this something that the OOM would fix or is this another issue altogether?

The machine has
64Meg of swap space, 128 Meg of RAM, Dual 233MMX, Itis running 2.2.17 and Rh 6.2.

Any ideas? thanks Joe
