Nt with only 32M of RAM (even in VMWare) is a little thin. Netware should be
just fine, unless you're planning to actuall have 40-50 users hitting that
Netware server. :-)

Those things are not the best of ideas. And I've never seen one for a DIMM -
only the older 30pin SIMMs.
If you're going to spend money anyway, get a higher density DIMM, instead.
Some places will allow you to trade in old DIMMs, and get a (small) price
break on a higher capacity DIMM.
