If you're worried about wether or not it'll be a useable system, a 
386sx/25 with 6 megs RAM is enough (I'm on a 386sx/16 w/ 4MB ram and it's 
quite useable! (useable is such a relative word! ;)  Make sure it's got 
enough swap space, though (10-20 MB, preferabbly closer to 20 than 10, 
outta do it).
