Sounds like mine, but it's SX, not DX, and it needs lots more swap.
I ran X on it once as an experiement. It worked fine, but I kept

This system has 300 megs, but of course that's not enough.
The pentium has a few gigs, but of course that's not enough.

Disk space seems to follow the same rules as bedroom floor space.
