That would be 128m for heap, add another 68 for the VM and associated overhead. Add about 60 meg for windows, and you are quickly at....256.
Now..If you want to run mail, or a simulator, or a database, or a web browser at the same time, you are talking even more memory. God help you if you want to run the optimizeit profiler, and use IDEA to browse through the code at the same time. If you have a large project (like ours), then you run with the -Xmx196M setting, and all the other numbers adjust accordingly. Further I have found that if I can keep at least 128 meg free memory it is used by the Windows 2000 file system cache, and will dramatically improve the disk access speed.
