So 128MB is probably a good minimum.  According to the spec on the motherboard 
they max RAM at 192MB.  (Spec for all of the terminal boxes is here: 
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/legacysupport/digital/venturis_fx_specs.html).  We 
can add 128MB to the 8 already there.

The specs say "Integrated S3TM Trio 64V+ graphics accelerator:1MB EDO graphics 
memory, upgradable to 2MB."  I assume this would be at least usable.
