typically, there is no code in Firefly that requires such a large amount of RAM.
I'd suggest you to set:
$mcscf soscf=.t. fullnr=.f. $end
i.e. not to use fullnr but rather soscf.
In addition, I'd suggest you to read this document:
http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/mcscf.html
This should reduce memory demands to just 20 or 30 mwords.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
