20 MB should be enough for what I want it to do, I suppose: basically  
boot modified kernels and ensure they work.  The thing is it  
currently has only 4 MB, so it is unusable.  For anything "heavier",  
I already have another box, a Performa 630, which has 40MB itself.   
(Why two?  They have different hardware, so trying changes on  
multiple combinations is good :-)

BTW, another person has offered me to send RAM privately.  I'll get  
back to you if he can't send it for whatever reason :-)

Spain.  Shipping anything big and heavy is not an option I guess,  
plus I don't really have space here to keep more computers!  But the  
CPU alone would be nice.

Thanks!
