Been getting this memory allocation error even after patching 1.61, switching to a new video card, swapping RAM, deleting and recreating swap file. It seems to happen once the size of the save game is over 1.6mb and during autosaves, regular saves and reloads from saved games. The first load after starting Civ 4 seems to work 95% of the time but a reload will often fail. Rebooting the desktop seems the only fix (temporary).

Here's a screen shot :

And if anyone knows how to post a 1.7mb save game here let me know.

The machine is a spam and virus free 2.8GHz P4 Dell with 256mb GeForce FX 5700VE and 2GB RAM SoundMAX integrated audio.
The other two intensive requirement games I run are Eve Online and NWN both of which have no noticed problems.
 
Turning off the multi-unit graphics to a single unit representation seems to have fixed the problem.
Will look for video card driver updates and contact Firaxis.
