It's true that if you want to run a big high-performance filer then
the more memory you have, the merrier.

I have ZFS running reliably on a 2GB Artigo 2000 (32-bit) with a bit
of tuning and on a 4GB Via M-Serve (64-bit) using the default
settings.  The boxes do Time Machine backups and store various
large data files (e.g. backups of various unix machines).

I missed the beginning of the conversation, what is the use case here?
