Wow. You are really pushing that poor computer hard.
My understanding is that Java Swing requires or
recommends 128 MB as a minimum. The SJ gui uses Swing,
so you may need 128 MB on the client for decent
performance. But if you find 32 MB works OK, that's
great.

More is definitely better. But how much you need
depends on what you plan to do with SJ -- how much
work you expect it to do.

But generally, I think you'll be fine with a pretty
typical small server setup, either Linux, Win 2000.
Personally, I don't care for Win 98. I'd try to get at
least 128 MB of RAM and 500Mhz of processing power. To
get a box that small you might have to buy a used one.
I haven't worked with anything smaller than that for
quite some time

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
