[mythtv-users] Minimum memory for myth system

[Todd Bailey]

I  was running 128 and the os using the swap partition a fait bit of time, 
since memory is/was cheap I upgraded to 512.
But then I was doing other stuff beyond myth as well...

256MB works fine for me. I have 2 DVB-T tuner cards in my FC3 system
and 512MB of swap.
