96MB of RAM is plenty.  Especially if VM is turned on, as it should be.

Huh?  I haven't heard that one before.  The disk cache should generally 
be at its default.  The errors mentioned aren't that big of a deal, and 
they're due to incorrect factory settings in the extensions and control 
panels in question, not anything involving the configuration of the 
local system.  I'd suggest writing to the authors of each of them and 
letting them know of the error messages, but in general that message is 
fairly benign.
