What can I tune to make the database use less memory in a 1GB ram notebook?

Hi,
Our notebook has 1GB ram only, running Windows XP Pro, Oracle10g Database, Oracle9i Application Server. It consumes about 1.4 - 1.5GB ram where it's already start using the virtual memory, therefore have some performance issue with it especially when try to startup the services.
I'm not a DBA but I would like to get some advice on what and how can I tune the database to use less memory since the notebook is used for demo application only, so we save memory resource and make the notebook runs faster.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Application Server 10gR1, 10gR2 is certified against WinXP:

XP      9.0.2.0.1      N/A      Desupported      None      None      N/ADessupported means Oracle will no longer produce patches or provide maintenance for the version, so in case you hit some new bug the only alternative will be to work with a higher version.
In your case you could use 10g on XP. The only XP not supported is Home Edition.
Coming back to the issue, since 9iR2 Oracle recommendation is to provide 1G for each AS node (infrastructure and middle tier). If you have this on the same box, by itself on the Enterprise install will consume more than 1G.
Tuning 10g database won't make much difference. If you install AS 10gR2 it includes a 10gR1 Database as infrastructure database you could use for demo purposes.
