Understood. I thought that 32MB would be more than enough for standard use.
I did figure that if I did something like run NetBSD on it, with X Windows,
that the extra RAM would help out. I have some sick ideas of what I'd like
to do with this machine. Might make a good diskless X Windows server with
enough RAM and an ethernet card.

I opentrack a late model Mustang, so I know that the upgrade bug can strike
too easily at any time. :)
