If both PCs have Ethernet (LAN) available, or if you simply add a cheap Ethernet card to them, you can connect them with a crossover network cable and run the Networking Wizard to set them up for File and printer sharing, and to share an Internet connection between the two.

No, it will not solve "Not enough memory" errors. You'll need to resolve the issues which are generating those messages on the PC that's throwing them up.

Catweazle is right- two computers can be networked together as he described to share files, folders, printers, etc. However, the computers will not share resources such as memory or CPU time.
