I'm not exactly sure, but it sounds like you don't have enough memory :-\

The computer you're playing it on doesn't have enough RAM to play the game, in other words you need to play it on a faster computer.

I think you're confusing RAM with storage (disk) space.  Think of RAM as the table upon which you can lay out your toys/projects/whatever; more RAM means more projects and games can be open at once.  Disk is your closet, where you keep things you're not playing with and storing for long term; more disk means more storage for other stuff you're not working on right now.

The error message sounds like (though I don't know for sure) you need more RAM, so the size of the flash drive upon which you have Tremulous installed makes no difference.  Try closing programs on the computer that you're not actively using (IM programs, Word, Internet Exploder/Firefox/etc).
