Hi,

buy more RAM ???
Don't waste memory for the Frontend and the X-Window system,
and run the kernel alone.

AFAIK the most unix systems can't put active used memory 
in the swap space. If your "full" expression need more than
a GByte RAM the swap space does not matter. Only unused
processes like daemons, seeping processes are puted into the swap.

Since the equations are linear it is no problem to solve
it analytical with DSolve[] and

eq5 = DSolve[{d05'[z] == (a + \[ImaginaryI]*b)*dh5[z],    
                                              
      dh5'[z] == (a + \[ImaginaryI]*b)*d05[z] +
\[ImaginaryI]*c*\[Xi]*dh5[z],
                                              d05[0] == 1, dh5[0] == 0},
                                              {d05[z], dh5[z]},
                                             z]

gives a solution that can be plotted. When the solution are plotted
my IRIX box say 8715640 bytes where used.
