Well,  I've got 40 megs in the 486dx2/66 that's currently running OS/2,  so
there's a bit of room for improvement there.  This box only has 16 megs in it
but I've got a couple of parts to stick in there.  The hangup on filling it
all the way is going to be finding some 4M 30 pin parts at a price I can
stomach.  The w95 box has 16 megs in it and seems happy enough with it,  I
ain't gonna mess with it.  And the Linux server has 64M,  and some empty
sockets in there.  That puppy has (looking) 38 processes currently running and 
rarely touches the swapfile,  though I have loaded it down a time or two.

I'm not in any hurry,  and can wait for prices to come back down.

Yep.
