I have 256M in this PII-233 box. While the recording was taking place, memory usage stayed at 250M with a small slice of swap being used. It never increased. (I'm running this in the latest version of apt-get kde-redhat, oink, oink). Audacity says it's storing its temporary files in /tmp/audacity1.2-username per File -> Preferences -> Directories. And it can presumably be changed to anyplace you have sufficient space. On the screen it was telling me that I had up to something like 4.5 hours of recording time available which works out to about the amount of disk space available in the / partition (2.5GB) per the above file sizes.
(Replying to my own post.)
I changed the temp file location to my /home partition which has about 25GB free and Audacity now tells me I could record 42 hours of audio! I think that will suffice :-)
I may test it today by recording a CD playing in a loop and see if perhaps I really can record, say, 5 hours.
So far this new pre version of Audacity is a very impressive app.
