I used a 386/33 with 8MB RAM as my web server for almost a year. It was also running a busy mail server too. Something like that can handle quite a bit of load, surprisingly. I wouldn't want to run it with 4MB of RAM though.
Actually, if you are teaching CGI, it's probably a really good idea to use a gutless box - that way, the students will be able to easily tell when they've created inefficient scripts. (That's mostly what I'm using my 386 for now - testing) Cheers, - Jim
