I have 345 MB of available RAM. What should the maximum percentage should I set PS 7.0 for?

75% Really? Why? I thought it was supposed to be like 95%

If you set it to greater than 75%, except in the rarest of circumstances, you starve your OS of needed ram.
Photoshop doesn't work like most programs we're used to - rather than rely heavily on the amount of ram, PS optimizes performance via the temporary file it creates in the scratch disk (set in the preferences). Thus RAM plays a lesser role relative to many other applications.
Peace,
