I think it is cool that you get usefull work out of a 486. Still
swapping is a nightmare especially for big graphical applications
like netscape. I say bump the memory as much as you can. It is
the cheepest way to better performance for any cofiguration. Most
late 486 boards will take at least 64Meg ram.
I see 32Meg 72pin EDO going for a couple bucks. And 486 motherboards
going for $30 to $50. Max the memory and over clock like crazy.
Maybe your experiance is different

On may 486 at 100Mz, 32Mb, KDE+netscape == Win98+netscape. However, I like
to crunch seti numbers, oops, netscape page faults like a M*^^%*. I need an
article, reference book, something, about load balancing. Maybe I can find
some RAM under the table but I don't think so. Icky stuff for me. Never had
to run the VMS system I was on.
