    Yeah,  that's what it says on paper.

    You'll often find people who have horrible back pain,  but the CAT 
scan looks normal,  and you'll see people who look like they couldn't 
walk who are champion Olympic lifters.

    In practice I've run it on a number of machines between 384M-512M of 
RAM and it's always been fine,  even doing other things in the background.

    It could be that the actual working set is much smaller than 432M,  
and the rest gets swapped out w/o any suffering.
