I suggest 100MB for boot, 128MB for swap and 3GB for Linux. RAM requirements
are variable. The more RAM the less pageouts and the faster the performance.
I would run at least 256MB for reasonable performance. 512 would be better
of course. If you run 64MB expect it to be really slow due to excessive disk
usage.

I have 1GB in one machine and there are no pageouts and it is much faster
than a similar machine with only 128MB.
