Well, I seem to remember from somewhere that, even if there were a
way, it would be a really, really bad idea to set the computer's clock
from within Linux. If you have any processes running at all, suddenly
changing the computer's real-time clock can wreak havoc with the proc
filesystem and nice priorities and whatnot. It's just generally not a good
idea, unless of course you're a hacker and seriously trying to bring down
a system. Even in that case, it could probably be fixed with a reboot or
init change.
The best way of doing this, as far as I know, is to set the clock within
the BIOS.
As far as memory goes, I say 64MB minimum, 128MB preferably. Memory is so
cheap there's really no excuse not to have 128MB these days.
