I have a Pentium 233 MMX with 32MB ram and a 20GB disk that seems to do 
fine recovering from a reboot.
It isn't really fast but it's a small MySQL database server that needs the 
uptime more then it does speed. It will never be hit very hard.

I have not tried a 486 yet but I will see if it works someday. If I get 
Mips on the Cobalt Qube2 going again I will test that one too :-)
