I dont know.  All I know is I need more than 512M.  I am experimenting with QT. 
Compiling it on a current Sheeva/Guru plug takes 3 days with about 2gb of swap. 
  If I can get more memory to toy with then it will make life so much easier. 
After I get my results, I will spend the 3 days to get a compile on hardware.
