It's so difficult for the layperson to find affordable replacements for those older machines, unfortunately. I was running X11 on a 386DX40 with 5MB of RAM for quite a while. It was slower than a dog with no legs. Eventually I had some SIMMs go bad, and they were too expensive to replace, so I ended up investing in a newer computer instead. Mr Anonymous
