It runs on my machine with 16MB, it also runs all the Developer/2000 and Discoverer/2000 tools. My swap file is set to 55MB and I have a P75 plus RAM doubler.

I haven't found any GPF's as yet, Data*Query 4 required some database tweeks. Oh, and PL/SQL is not installed on the database - I am only using it for simple trials at the moment.
