Mark,
I had 8.1.7.0.2 running on a laptop (W2K Pro) with only 80 MB of RAM.
I think that the SGA was around 48 MB total, with only 8 MB set aside
for db_block_buffers.
Are you using Java? You can reclaim 20 MB by not using the default
settings for java_pool_size.
I'd try to disable as many operating system services as you can - or at
least set them to manual, so that they don't acquire resources at boot
time.
I'd also create the database elsewhere (on a machine with more
horsepower) and move it over to the laptop.
hth,
Paul
