From what I understand, 8M is the minimum required for a FBSD install so 16M should be OK. But if you're running X windows, maybe you need more? The hangs I am experiencing are complete system freezes. The machine will not respond at all. Not at the console, not to pings, not to anything. The only thing I can do is power off/on and then the machine runs fine for a while. It will run weeks as long as I don't do heavy compiling or upgrade my ports database. Another person was having unexplained reboots. He went back to 4.4p9 and they cleared up. I've seen similar complaints from a few others. So it sounds like your situation is different than mine. Good luck on your search for resolution!
