I have an 2Gig machine that runs a node just fine, its on win7 and testnet though. But I cant imagine that 1 gig shouldnt be enough.
Can you check how much ram (according to the OS) was used, how many connections where open and whether or not the VM actually gave you a full gig at the time of the crash?
It might just be bad VMWare running in the background.

If 1GB RAM isn't enough, I'll probably just give up the VPS and stop running a node. That would be a shame.
I don't think 1GB is enough to run Bitcoin and an OS. Currently it's using 800MB on my machine.
I've been running bitcoind on a VPS for a few months. A few days ago it crashed. Since then every time I restart it it runs out of memory within a minute or two. The VPS has 1GB of RAM and I'm not running anything else. Here is exactly what it says:
The last time I was successfully running it I had version 0.9.1. When it wouldn't restart I upgraded to 0.9.2.1, but the same thing happens.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
