This is not true.

The complete ODT will load and run in 4MB of RAM.  It's slow, as your
disk is taking a real beating (as I recall, theres only about 800K of
real memory left).  I wouldn't want to run this way, but I have
clients who do.

'Course, as far as I'm concerned, 12MB is about right for a complete
ODT.
