What sort of reasonably OK? My experience on my 64MB P2-350 Dell
Optiplex is that 2.6.9-acXX will kill things off at random even when the
machine isn't out of memory. If you have any particular test cases you
would like run just ask, I understand that some of the difficulty is
that the VM developers have machines plenty big enough not to suffer the
problems.

The embedded market is different, we're not likely to see multi-gigabyte
mobile phones, PDAs, PVRs or whatever for a while at least. 64MB is not
*that* small.
