one of my machines is a Cx486-40 with an ISA bus.  It's got a minor problem:
the internal cache doesn't coordinate properly with DMA, or something,
so the internal cache must be disabled for the system to work.

Other than that, it works OK.

If you're going to run X, i'd definitely suggest more than 4MB of RAM.
X will run in that amount, but you'll pay for it.  8-)
