I've got YDL 2.3 running on a Wallstreet Rev2 with 384M RAM (128
lower, 256 upper). Works fine with or without GUI...but I eventually
reverted to non-GUI install since I was just running Apache 1.3x and
didn't need anything more.
Here's what I got from Apple System Profiler:
Memory overview
Disk cache: 8160K
Virtual memory: is off
Built-in memory: 384 MB
Location Size Memory type
Bottom 128 MB SDRAM DIMM
Top 256 MB SDRAM DIMM
Backside L2 cache: 512K
