I have a 7.1 compiled and running on a sparc station 10 (not a super
sparc 10)

I have a system in production on a 486SX and 24MB RAM (FreeBSD).
More memory is always helpful.

Watch out on FreeBSD if you do get one of these 486s with no FPU.
You will need to recompile the kernel to use the GNU_MATH_EMULATE
as the one in the GENERIC kernel caused postgres to crash.
