256M is fine, and I find 128M is pretty uneventful as well. But if
you want to run big apps as well as the OS, you'd need more.

Unless pagefile is too small and/or HD space is tight, shrinking RAM
down to 128M would not be expected to cause stability problems other
than that of wider critical windows as the system slows down++
