I've changed the subject line to something more descriptive.
If you must run VM, yes, the setting of '1MB above' is best. It uses as
little of the hard disk as possible, and it invokes the benefits of VM such
as delayed code fragment loading, fast starts, etc.
To the original poster, when 64MB is the maximum memory ceiling on a 1400
and you have to run 9.1, then you run VM. And the 1400 is happy with it
(though the G3/333 certainly helps).
