I have 26 Gig on my 30 gig harddrive and I don't use my 6 Gig.  My 
nephew has a 12 Gig and has about 4 gig left.
So I think I have the 10% rule covered

Why would I need 3 Gig to run efficiently?  Is that for the creation of 
the swap file?

Lets hope as I have another 256 Meg of ram coming for a system total of 
512 and if things seem to improve than I will order one more 256 Meg 
Dimm.  Hope this solves my problem and thanks for all those that got 
back to me.
