Not so much the P90, but 32M is a non-starter.  Moz feels heavy even on
this box with 96M.

'cos it enables us to run modern desktop apps?
When this box had 32M, I used olvwm for a window manager, and found
it served very nicely.  Could have Netscape, Emacs and a couple of
xterms open without stretching it.
