I am truly sorry if I didn't get your point but:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
    int i = 0;
    while (true)
    {
        using(byte newBt = new byte[1024 * 1024 * 10])
        {
            list.Add(newBt); // 10 MB
            i += 10;
            Console.WriteLine(i);
        }
    }
}

Have you tried the using method? And this might be a stupid question but why did you create an eternal loop? O if you try the code strip the symbols >.> xD.
