Typically the errors show up on a WRAP, e.g. 486 based with 64M all 
included, so I guess you will not be able to go that far down.

I understand this is on the very low end but these systems used to work 
well until about 2 years ago, then with the growing kernel and modules 
things started going haywire.

Somehow I am not prepared to throw things away without them being really 
broken.

I understand though that for present day programmers the expression 
'hardware limitations' is congolese as is 'saving resources'. I still 
recall LEAF running off a single floppy :-)
