In my experience the problem with Vipre on older workstations isn't memory but CPU usage. Particularly on single core CPUs. It's an order of magnitude better since the new definitions format was deployed, but in the past I've seen really terrible performance when updating or installing definitions, or when Active Protection is set to "Check ALL files when opened or changed."
