The 2x rule has never been really valid, it doesn't work for systems with 4MB of ram, and it doesn't work for systems with 4G of ram, 128M, perhaps 256M should be fine for most of todays systems (something will always get swapped out that isn't being used, and having too much is a lot better than having too little). -- Matthew S.
