I forgot to mention.. ProductVersion must be numberic w.x.y.z with y
and z optional.

My working set peaked at 156M and I was still thrashing.

384 = 1-128M module + 1-256M module. That is a standard memory config.
Most folks won't know their working set or even available memory. I
said 300M memory to allow 200M for our working set and 100M for the OS
and other stuff. You can get into symantics with MB vs 1000KB, but the
point is most users only care about how much memory is physically
installed on there system. If we say 384 they will know if they have
384 installed or not. I'm comfortable saying a 384M system will not
trash. Anything less I'm not sure. If we do thrash, run-times will be
too slow and users will complain.
