You will need more than a "few" megabytes since CVSNT does *all* of
its file operations in memory. If you have a binary file of any size
(like an exe file) and you have say 100 revisions of this file, then
you will need a couple of 100 megabytes of RAM.
I say, don't go below 512 Mb RAM on the server...
