Actually, all the good Java dev tools take up quite a bit of RAM, and
disk swap space.

With NT, 96 mb RAM is just about the functional minimum since
NT uses quite a bit itself.  But beyond this, you really have
to be serious about setting aside a good chunk of disk space
for your swap file.  Once I set mine to 300 MB, things became
quite nice.  Why not just get a cheap 2-gig drive, partition it
in half, and devote all of the second partition to swap space?
(Oh, maybe I'm too used to these SCSI drives, where you can just
keep adding them....  Must be my Mac heritage.)

However, it will make all the difference.
