No problem.  Just going from my experience, at least with regard to 
desktop usage.  My system only has 2gb of ram, I really need to get 
another gig, but I just moved from California to Texas, there's no way.  
JDS is a ram hog in itself, but add in JDS, ZFS, and Java, it's just one 
gigantic monster.  A sexy one though.  :-)
