There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I think that it uses all RAM available to it by default.

You could create a new swap partition with Gparted, then right click it and select Swap On (or if you have a Linux installation, simply select the swap partition of your existing installation and use that.)
Be aware that if you do this, some of the contents of memory will be placed on the hard drive, which may not be too secure.
