One thing that I noticed that is very nice with EQ!!'s memory usage is that when you have the program minimized is that it unloads most of itself from memory. I've seen it as low as 35k and been able to tab back into game and be able to play for a few hours.
I've been in the middle of a crowded dungeon tabbed-out and minimized (some guildies wanted me in their group while they did a CR...I made the dungeon grey for them), and was able to browse the net, have my mail client open, and be running a movie on my computer to my TV at the same time.
I have a pretty junky system too.
Tonight, I just realised that for the last couple of days I have been playing with no page file, and I only have 1g of memory and a junky FX5200 card.
