Looks like you can get 2GB of suitable RAM for $20CAD
(I should really do some work)

If it's truly ancient and requires it, I've got some SD RAM up for grabs...

I might could beat that at some of the shops that sell pulls around here, but not really worth the bother to me or my boss. Better to have something we can return if it doesn't work. We bought ram from them before and it's been good.

Ditch Apache and install nginx and PHP5-FPM instead. You'll thank me later.

I am curious, is there a software reason to keep that old thing running or just because it is sitting there? I am pretty cheap and buy everything from my own pocket, but even I don't have computers that old.

Um, you're talking to a guy shooting film in a 1960's Spotmatic. It horrifies me how much perfectly good gear goes on the scrap heap to make room for the latest shiny (usually not well-made) bauble. Of course then I gets to buy it cheap. So there's that.
