The DE2 board has external memory on it. You can use the 512 kbyte SRAM and the 8 Mbyte SDRAM. There are several examples for using each of these chips on the CD. You may need to download the latest CD from Terasic because it has QSYS examples as well as the obsolete SOPC builder. Make sure your program is compiled to load into SRAM/SDRAM.

Alternately, I think that the software runtime library can be compiled so that is uses less memory. I don't know how that works but I remember seeing it somewhere.
