 Although RAM is important, it's not the only factor. My Libretto 100cts
 has 32mb of RAM, and the CPU is overclocked to be 200mhz I believe. 
 However X is horribly slow, even compiled from source (I'm running 
 FreeBSD on it), and with evilwm as my windowmanager. Mozilla is a horrid
 beast... and why else would you run X if not for a web browser?

 I suppose it is usefull as a glorified console, but only if you really
 need that kind of thing, which it sounds like he doesnt.
