help on error when starting xWin


When I start xWindows in my laptop computer, this is the error message.

c:\cygwin\usr\x11r6\bin\XWin.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap (0x2890000) in child
, cygheap, Win32 error 487
giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X
server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

but I did this quite well in another computer with the same
configuration, the only difference is that computer has 512M memory and
my laptop has 256M memory.

Is the xWindows very memory-consuming when starting?

Thanks.
