From that perspective, Carlos is right. You'll have trouble running
non-trivial Java code with so little RAM. In fact, I don't see how you're running a GUI environment of any sort in so little RAM.
Generally speaking, the solution to such a problem with Java software is to increase the JVM maximum heap size by specifying the -Xmx<size> option, but I don't know how to do that for applets running within a browser.
John, which browser and which JVM release are you using?
John didn't say he was using java. That was Carlo's idea. In my opinion he was lucky to get a GUI environment installed at all in 48M, much less to get it to run. The answer is more resources, both cpu and memory. Without that, it will never run well.
