Up till last week, I was running a useable X system on a 486 w 16M of memory. X worked well @ 1024x768 resolution, and apps like Netscape (4.75) and WordPerfect (8) executed acceptably fast. I agree that the more memory, the better, but I don't agree that 32M is too small for X. It is, however, too small for Gnome-in-X (or KDE-in-X), and for that little memory, a lightweight WM would be better (say, Blackbox or UDE or WindowMaker).
