A 486 with 32-64mb of ram will run X fine, but it's still a little slow
for cpu intensive processes (netscape, mozilla, gimp...). These machines
also make excellent X terminals, provided they have a fairly decent video
card. My personal favorites tend to be old Diamond Viper and Stealth VLB
cards with 2mb of video ram.
