1GB laptop would default to 700MB for Oracle. Why aim for 32MB?!?
about 100M is workable, and even allows for some options.
I have been working 512MB~1GB XP laptops with the database, Designer
and iAS (pl/sql) running. Nothing to be jealous about, but more
workable than my current 4GB Vista (yuck!)
