There is just no way someone is going to spec a machine that large for
such a small task without some other background motive. A Socket 7 based
machine such as a 200MHz Pentium P54CS with 128MB of ram can even handle
serving out 1k hits a day of static content...while running modern
software (BSD or Linux and Apache). I'm not sure I'd try it today with a
486 based system...
