It requires 64 Mbs of RAM to run.  What do you actually mean?  Virtual memory it a X amount of space on your hard drive that is used as ram.  This amount can either be set manually, or handled by the OS.  If handled by the OS, it can change per the size of your hard drive.

yes

EDIT: also you could just press ctrl + alt + del and take a look how much ram is used on your machine

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

It should be about the same. 200MB is a joke though. With nothing running but the OS, I sit at just over 300MB used.

I don't know where all of you get these numbers...

Right now with 2x IE, MSN IM, and 50 other processes (including anti-virus and anti-spyware) I'm running at about 500mb used. If I dump everything and just let it idle with nothing running but anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall it sits at about 300MB (and thats still with about 40 processes in the background.)

I think 200mb is the closest estimate so far.

With nothing loaded, I use less than 200MB. However, you will obvious have something open like a firewall or anti-bad internets files so you'll end up at around 300MB.

In summary:
        On Windows XP Home Edition 189MB
