Until recently, our 'production' server was a P120 with a fairly light
amount of ram, running apache+php+mysql. It coped quite well. Not a huge
website but we do get a few hits and almost all our pages make heavy use
of php/mysql.
otoh; a 486 with 8M or ram is probably a little on the 'light'
side.. It might OK if you're prepared to do a custom kernel, and
kill off all the extra stuff (X11, sendmail, etc). And if you have
a really small number of hits.
I'd suggest a 486DX4-120 or P100 with 32M as an absolute minimum
myself.
