Well, I do know of a person who has 256MB on his 2 300mhz-PII
box.  But he did not know that 2.2.5 is not SMP.  And I was
suprised that the machine reconized the 256MB.  I thought it
was a fluk.  I then showed him that running a co-lo comersial
web server you should make a custiom kernel.  He was running
out of pids.  Oh well.  But I do not have enough ram in my
box to go past the 64MB installed.
