384MB ram.  i can load 50 1600x1200x24 photos into GIMP and my memory drops
down to 6M free and about 160MB in swap (i'm guessing other stuff that isn't
being used that gets pushed there) and gimp can resize a photo in the same
time it takes if i had only one photo loaded, and there is no swapping.

keep in mind, that right now, without running gimp, i only have 100MB free ram.
