I have 32mb 72pin from an old Gateway 486/33 that I can donate. I
think they were 8meg sims, but I'll have to check.

I ran X and NCSA server on the above machine. While it was no
speed-deamon, it did work. Then again, there was only one user, Me!

Having said that, we could probably make a fairly quick machine by
buying a new mother board, and using whatever old case, video card,
memory, etc. that we can grab. Maybe we can pass the hat around and go
on a shopping spree!
