According to this document (http://www.altera.com/literature/rn/rn_qts_dev_support.pdf), page 3, the recommended amount of RAM to compile your project is 1Gb, so it should be enough.

It's possible that some parts of your design generate too much logic for Quartus to compile (big loops generating some hardware at each iteration, for example).
