If you want to run Firefox or even Netsurf you need at least 128Mb I'd say -
I've got 96Mb and often wish I had more

I suspect you _might_ be able to harvest the right sort of RAM chips from
old upgradeable graphics cards?

I doubt the RAM chips are easily available. It won't improve the speed of
the RiscPC much, adding memory to a RiscPC doesn't speed it up in the same
way that it speeds up a PC or Mac. It will only allow programs that need
more memory to run at all. I can't think of much reason for more than (say)
16mb in a RiscPC, and if you want to upgrade standard 72pin SIMMs will be
cheaper and easier to come by.
