We use at least 486DX33 with minimum of 8MB, but better 16MB for 1024x786
at 16bpp with a good VLB card. But if you intend to use the computer as
text login console, 4MB should be enough :-))

It depends on your network architecture. It worked with 10 XTerminals on a
10Mbit cheaper net (BNC) fine for us.
