Isn't that what Oracle says for 9i2, too? (tu-tu?) My Gentoo box only has 384MB to run a small 60MB instance, the listener, NFS, SSH, and since it's also a desktop, Enlightenment, Tora, MozFirebird and Opera7, GKrellM, several ATerms, and I'm not using swap and still have something like 50MB free physical after five Perl/DBD::JDBC connections to the DB from another box. And the modest P-III 866 slides along nicely serving up Oracle with all of this running.
Oh wait, if I fire up VLC or Xine, the CPU hits 60%. And Kino pushes it to 100%. And I might actually hit some swap with Kino...stupid A/V processing wants RAM. Go figure.
